  • Coupling device for controlling axial thrust forces
    Patent number: 5036714
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for recording the axial force exerted by a coupling device. This apparatus measures the pressure which the axial force exerts on an elastomer-type spring-like element and for this purpose a pressure sensor is mounted at a predetermined transfer shoulder between the elastomer-type spring-like element and the housing or the pull rod of the coupling device. As an alternative, the pressure sensor can be mounted in the elastomer-type spring-like element.
