Elongate force sensor assembly with throughgoing bore
16 Jan 24
An elongate force sensor assembly for measuring a force applied in a force application direction and a method of manufacturing the assembly, the force sensor assembly including an extruded elongate force responsive beam element (EFRB) extending along a longitudinal axis which is generally perpendicular to the force application direction, the EFRB having a hollow and generally rectangular cross-section generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and being formed with a throughgoing longitudinal bore along the longitudinal axis, the throughgoing longitudinal bore being formed together with the EFRB and a strain engine extending along a transverse axis, generally perpendicular to both the force application direction and to the longitudinal axis; at least one strain gauge affixed to the EFRB, each strain gauge generating an output in response to the force, and a plurality of circuit elements operative to convert the output into a force indication, indicating a magnitude of the force.

Strain Gages and Methods for Manufacturing Thereof
24 Jun 21
A strain gage comprises: a flat metallic element; a first layer, wherein the flat metallic element is laminated onto a first surface of the first layer and the flat metallic element covers a first part of the first surface of the first layer; and a second layer laminated onto a second surface of the first layer, wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface, and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the second layer is greater than a threshold value.
