  • Strain-sensitive resistor
    Patent number: 6512445
    Abstract: A strain-sensitive resistor including a resistance layer arranged on a support element and an electromechanical transducer produced with this transistor. The support element has a recess in its surface. When the support element is subjected to mechanical stress in at least one area in which the resistance layer is positioned, the recess produces a ratio between the two main strain directions of the resistance layer which differs in magnitude.

  • Transverse force sensor insensitive to bending and torsional moments
    Publication number: 20020092361
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transverse force sensor with a bridge circuit having strain-sensitive resistors, the strain-sensitive resistors being arranged immediately on a component on which bending forces act directly without intermediate support, as a result of which an electric signal corresponding to the strain of the thick-film resistors can be tapped at the bridge circuit.
    Type: Application

  • Mechanical/electrical transducer insensitive to bending and transverse forces
    Publication number: 20020056324
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical/electrical transducer with a bridge circuit having strain-sensitive resistors, the strain-sensitive resistors being arranged immediately on a component having an approximately rectangular cross section and on which torsional forces act directly without intermediate support, as a result of which, when the component is subjected to torsion, it is possible to tap at the bridge circuit an electric signal corresponding to the strain of the thick-film resistors.
    Type: Application

  • Bending moment sensor
    Publication number: 20020035875
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bending moment sensor with a bridge circuit having strain-sensitive resistors, the strain-sensitive resistors being arranged immediately on a component on which bending forces act directly without intermediate support, it being possible upon bending of the component to tap at the bridge circuit an electric signal corresponding to the strain of the thick-film resistors.
