Patent number: 9816884Abstract: For measuring tensile and/or compressive loads force measuring systems are provided for measuring a tensile and/or compressive load of a structure have a first force measuring sensor assigned to the structure, and a second force measuring sensor assigned to the structure. To provide a force measuring system that enables high measuring accuracy, the first and the second force measuring sensor differ in such a way, that the first force measuring sensor is designed to measure a nominal load range, and the second force measuring sensor is designed to measure a sub-range of the nominal load range.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: tecsis GmbHInventors: Alexander Gerber, Daniel Niedballa, Oliver Jost

Patent number: 8881597Abstract: A measuring device is described which has a metal body deformable in accordance with a value to be measured. A sensor element having a metal carrier and ohmic resistors formed thereon in metal thin-film technique is connected to the metal body by welding and generates a signal adapted to be electrically evaluated which corresponds to the deformation of the metal body. The weld for connecting the metal body and the sensor element completely encloses the metal carrier at its circumference. The metal body has, at the welded connection with the metal carrier, a material thickness t which is completely penetrated by the weld. The value to be measured by the measuring device comprises force, pressure, temperature, torque or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Tecsis GmbHInventors: Oliver Jost, Marko Appel, Joachim Hose Von Wolframsdorff

Patent number: 8661916Abstract: A load cell for detecting the supporting force transmitted by a load-bearing support element is provided. The load cell forms a measuring portion of the support element, which deforms under the supporting force and transverse forces in a direction deviating from the supporting force to form part of the support element with the same. A plurality of thin-film resistors are arranged at the measuring portion, and exhibit a reaction proportional to strain and whose reactions proportional to transverse forces cancel each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2010Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: TECSIS GmbHInventors: Joachim Hose von Wolfframsdorff, Oliver Jost, Klaus Haerle, Stefan Amendt

Publication number: 20130340537Abstract: A force sensor for measuring forces comprises a sensor plate where at least one measuring resistor is arranged whereby deformations of the sensor plate can be detected as a result of forces to be measured. The sensor plate includes at least one local weakened area whereby deformation behavior of the sensor plate is influenced. The weakened area results in bypassing the flux of force in the sensor plate and in concentrating the forces at non-weakened portions of the sensor plate. The at least one measuring resistor is preferably arranged at such non-weakened deforming portion of the sensor plate. The at least one weakened area defines sensor plate portions separated from at least in sections, the sensor plate portions being exposed to opposite forces. The sensor plate can be mounted in a housing with an evaluation circuit, for example, and constitute a force sensor having compact dimensions and high measuring sensitivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2013Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: Florian Freiwald, Oliver Jost, Markus Muller

Patent number: 8373335Abstract: Actuator elements can be used for mechatronic, adaptive applications under the most varied conditions of use. These actuator elements have improved properties and can be manufactured inexpensively. The actuator elements are formed with at least one dielectric separation layer which is encompassed by two electrically conductive electrodes. The electrodes and the separation layer are in this respect formed using the same visco-elastically deformable plastic. The plastic forms a matrix in which carbon nanotubes are embedded at least in the electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung E.V.Inventor: Oliver Jost

Patent number: 7832290Abstract: Disclosed is an axial force transducer comprising a deformable element (1) which forms a measuring spring and is rotationally symmetrical to the force inducing axis as well as strain gauges (15, 18) that are arranged in pairs in areas extending in opposite directions and are connected so as to form an electrical resistance bridge. The deformable element (1) is provided with a central location hole (8) which extends radially under the effect of an axial force and whose edge (12) is connected to a deformable disk (13) via an annular rib (10), said deformable disk (13) being disposed at an axial distance from the location hole (8). The edge (14) of the deformable disk (13) radially protrudes from the annular rib (10). The strain gauges (15, 18) are applied to the face of the deformable disk (13) in pairs, inside and outside the diameter of the annular rib (10).Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Tecsis GmbHInventors: Joachim Hose-Von Wolfframsdorff, Oliver Jost
