  • Patent number: 11073432
    Abstract: A force sensor is suitable for an electrohydraulic hitch control system of an agricultural tractor. The force sensor has an outer cylindrical part with a bore and a measuring rod fixed on one side in the bore. A central section of the cylindrical part is provided as force introduction section. Two outer sections of the cylinder part are removed equally far axially from the center of the force introduction section and are provided as abutment sections. The measuring rod is clamped in an area of the force introduction section.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7805989
    Abstract: A position measuring system, especially for hydraulic valve, having a pressure tube to accommodate an armature is provided, whereby the pressure tube is manufactured by deep-drawing. As a result, a cost-effective manufacturing process can be employed for the pressure tube. The pressure tube can be firmly attached to a valve housing by means of a holding element and, optionally, an attachment flange.

  • Publication number: 20070210538
    Abstract: A force sensor has a cylindrically shaped housing which is elastically deformable by a force acting on it perpendicularly to its center axis. The housing has a hollow space. A measuring transducer device is situated in the hollow space, by which the deformation of the housing is able to be recorded. The measuring transducer device has a plate-shaped support plate on whose surface an expansion measurement transducer is fastened. The support plate is fastened in the hollow space in such a way that a deformation of the housing is transferred to the support plate.
