Inductive force sensor mounted on aircraft landing gear - has two mounting elements, one carrying measurement tongue between them, on carrying sensor coils, produces high useful signal level

摘要

The inductive force sensor on the landing gear of an aircraft consists of two mounting elements (2,3) at a distance apart on an axis (10), a measurement tongue between the mounting elements carried by one of them and two sensor coils (8,9) mounted on the other element. The coils are mounted at a distance apart on a common coil axis and on both sides of the measurement tongue. The axis on which both sensor coils lie is in the same direction as the mounting element axis, which is in the direction of the force acting on the measurement section of the landing gear. ADVANTAGE - Produces a high useful signal level with high degree of accuracy.
