  • Publication number: 20130319135
    Abstract: With the Z-axis given as a central axis, on an XY-plane, arranged are a rigid force receiving ring, a flexible detection ring inside thereof, and a cylindrical fixed assistant body further inside thereof. Two fixing points on the detection ring are fixed to a supporting substrate, and two exertion points are connected to the force receiving ring via connection members. When force and moment are exerted on the force receiving ring, with the supporting substrate fixed, the detection ring undergoes elastic deformation. Capacitance elements or others are used to measure distances between measurement points and the fixed assistant body and distances between the measurement points and the supporting substrate. Elastic deformation of the detection ring is recognized for mode and magnitude, thereby detecting a direction and magnitude of force or moment which is exerted.

  • Publication number: 20130167661
    Abstract: A small, high-stiffness torque sensor. An annular deformable body is disposed between left and right side supports. Convex sections protruding from the left side support in a rightward direction are joined to the left side surface of the annular deformable body, and convex sections protruding from the right side support in a leftward direction are joined to the right side surface of the annular deformable body. When force is applied to the right side support and torque around the Z axis acts on the left side support, the annular deformable body is elliptically deformed and the long-axis position of the inner peripheral surface of the annular deformable body moves away from the Z axis while the short-axis position moves closer to the Z axis. The acting torque is detected as a variation in the capacitance value of capacitive elements formed by displacement electrodes and fixed electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8408075
    Abstract: Between an upper substrate 10 and a lower substrate 20 parallel to the XY plane, a first columnar member P1 and a second columnar member P2 are disposed. The upper end of each columnar member P1 or P2 is connected to the upper substrate 10 via an upper film portion 11 or 12, and the lower end is connected to the lower substrate 20 via a conductive lower film portion 21 or 22. The columnar members P1 and P2 are inclined mutually opposite with respect to vertical reference axes R1 and R2. When a rightward force +Fx is applied to the upper substrate 10 and the upper substrate 10 slides rightward, the columnar member P1 incline in a laying-down direction and the lower film portion 21 is deformed upward, and the columnar member P2 inclines in a rising direction and the lower film portion 22 is deformed downward.
