  • Patent number: 6805011
    Abstract: A force transducer is inserted into a small boring inside a test object. Inside the boring, it can measure the elastic extensions caused by the surrounding stress matrix. The force transducer is provided in two parts. Both parts are provided with a conical inner boring or conical outer periphery in such a manner that they can be held inside the boring of the test object by a tractive force. In order to span a large tolerance zone, the outer part is axially provided with multiple slits on both sides. The outer part is provided with a polygonal shape and thereby detects the deformations to be measured, not over the entire periphery, but it records theres via the contacts axially oriented through the axial lines. The extension is integrated in a peripheral direction between the contacts and is transferred into the inner part.

  • Publication number: 20040025596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force transducer, which is inserted into a small boring inside a test object and which, inside the boring, can measure the elastic extensions caused by the surrounding stress matrix. The force transducer is provided in two parts consisting of an outer part and of an inner part. Both parts are provided with a conical inner boring or conical outer periphery in such a manner that they can be held inside the boring of the test object by a tractive force generated using any means. In order to span a large tolerance zone the measuring boring, the outer part is axially provided with multiple slits on both sides. Said outer part is provided with a polygonal shape and thereby detects the deformations to be measured not over the entire periphery, but it records these via the contacts axially oriented through the angle lines. The extension is integrated in a peripheral direction between said contacts and is transferred into the inner part provided with any type of measuring device.
