  • Force transducer for measuring axial forces
    Patent number: 7331243
    Abstract: A force transducer for measuring axial forces which act essentially transversely on an axis, in particular a measuring axis, has a longitudinally extending axial body, which has a first portion, forming a force introduction zone, at least one second portion, forming a bearing zone, and at least one third portion, forming a force measuring zone for measuring the axial forces. The axial body has in the region of the at least one second portion, radially at a distance from the outside of the same, at least one recess extending in the circumferential direction and directed essentially axially, so that an edge of the second portion that is facing the first portion forms a free overhang.
