Patent number: 10308487Abstract: A support force measurement apparatus for determining a support force on a support element of a support structure of a movable working machine. The measurement apparatus has at least one measurement element and a support leg. The measurement element is connected to a deformation body capable of being deformed with an effect of the support force, so as to form a sensor and send a signal proportional to the support force. The support leg has the sensor and is movably connected to the support element. The support element comprises a cable connection, and the cable connection is constructed in a manner of guiding electrical energy and is used for sending the signal proportional to the support force to an analysis apparatus in a machine. The support element in the support leg and the sensor are provided with electromagnetic interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2015Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: TECSIS GMBHInventors: Reinhold Ost, Klaus Haerle, Stefan Amendt

Patent number: 8881597Abstract: A measuring device is described which has a metal body deformable in accordance with a value to be measured. A sensor element having a metal carrier and ohmic resistors formed thereon in metal thin-film technique is connected to the metal body by welding and generates a signal adapted to be electrically evaluated which corresponds to the deformation of the metal body. The weld for connecting the metal body and the sensor element completely encloses the metal carrier at its circumference. The metal body has, at the welded connection with the metal carrier, a material thickness t which is completely penetrated by the weld. The value to be measured by the measuring device comprises force, pressure, temperature, torque or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Tecsis GmbHInventors: Oliver Jost, Marko Appel, Joachim Hose Von Wolframsdorff
