  • Patent number: 5033314
    Abstract: The force and moment sensor of the present invention has first and second load paths for transferring forces and moments from an input member to the output member. The first and second path forming members cooperating with one another to divide the forces and moments which are transferred through the sensor whereby minor components of the moments and substantial components of the forces are transferred through the second load path forming means. Strain sensors are located in the second load path for sensing the forces and moments applied to the second load path forming members from which the total value of the forces and moments transferred from the input member to the output member may be determined while simultaneously transferring large moments and small forces.
