  • Publication number: 20230236080
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque sensor (10) with a main body (12) that extends in an axial and circumferential direction, and which extends in a radial direction of the main body from an annular inner flange (18) with first force introduction points (16) via a mechanically weakened sensor portion (20), which is provided with measuring sensors that generate output signals, to an annular outer flange (32) with second force introduction points (34), wherein the second force introduction points (34) are connected to the sensor portion (20) via a radially elastic material portion (28). The radially elastic material portion (28) is formed by multiple radially elastic bending strips 31), which are arranged in a distributed manner around a circumference of the main body (12), and is connected to the mechanically weakened sensor portion (20) via an annular, radially stiff decoupling region (27).

  • Patent number: 11105695
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque sensor having a base body (601) which extends in a radial direction (Y) of the base body from an annular inner flange (603) having first force application points (605), via a mechanically weakened sensor portion (607) equipped with measurement transducers (10, 20) which generate output signals, to an annular outer flange (509; 609) having second force application points (611), wherein the mechanically weakened sensor portion (607) comprises radially extending first connecting webs (619a) and second connecting webs (619b), which have different mechanical properties and are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11105694
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque sensor (1000; 1100) having a base body (1001; 1101) which extends in a radial direction (Y) of the base body from an annular inner flange (1003; 1103) having first force application points (1005; 1105), via a mechanically weakened sensor portion (1007; 1107) equipped with measurement transducers (10, 20) which generate output signals, to an annular outer flange (1009; 1109) having second force application points (1011; 1111), wherein a rubber-elastic sealing membrane (1031; 1131) arranged axially between the outer flange (1009; 1109) and the inner flange (1003; 1103) covers the mechanically weakened sensor portion (1007; 1107) in a fluid-tight manner.
