  • Transducer sensor body
    Patent number: 10330545
    Abstract: A transducer sensor body includes a first support structure and a second support structure. A tubular element has a center bore along a longitudinal axis. An elongated first flexure joins the tubular element to the first support structure parallel to the longitudinal axis. The first flexure is rigid to transfer a longitudinal force therethrough along the longitudinal axis and is rigid to transfer an axial force therethrough along an axial axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. An elongated second flexure joins the tubular element to the second support structure parallel to the longitudinal axis. The second flexure is rigid to transfer a longitudinal force therethrough along the longitudinal axis and is to transfer the axial force therethrough along the axial axis.

  • Wheel support having a transducer sensor body
    Patent number: 10272720
    Abstract: A wheel support having a transducer body includes a first support member having a spindle configured to support a wheel assembly for rotation about an axis of the spindle and a second support member. A plurality of transducer elements connects the first support member and the second support member. One of the first support member and the second support member are configured to be mounted to a vehicle and support the vehicle in part on the spindle.
