Electromechanical apparatus for conversion of force to electric signal

摘要

The converter according to the invention allows such measuring process during which only the force to be measured participates in the conversion of force to electric signal, the point of application of which is definitely fixed and displacement of the point of application as a result of deformation brought about by the force-effect takes place without the development of additional forces and additional stress fields. Thus the converter has fitting surfaces allowing axial displacement and/or turn around a point between the part receiving the force to be measured and the measuring sensor, while the part transferring the reaction force is rigidly clamped. Suitably an elastic layer absorbing the kinetic energy is arranged between the part receiving the force to be measured and the measuring sensor.
