  • Publication number: 20090038413
    Abstract: In a force/moment sensor for measuring at least three orthogonal loads, there are provided rod-shaped elements formed as glass fibers which have no support structure and are fixed in platforms. In one embodiment, the rod-shaped portions can form one continuous glass fiber or a small number of glass fibers, with the one or plurality of fibers being wound in an undulating configuration around a virtual cylinder. The glass fibers can be provided with a coating.
