Abstract: A strain sensor comprising a metal substrate, a first electrode provided on the metal substrate, a glass layer formed on the first electrode, and a second electrode and a strain detecting resistor provided on the glass layer. In the strain sensor, the insulation resistance between the metal substrate and the second electrode has been raised, and the reliability is high. It can be implemented at low cost.

Abstract: A strain sensor improved in detection accuracy without variation of bending stresses applied to the strain detecting element. The sensor substrate has a first fixing hole at one end and a second fixing hole at the other end, a detecting hole at the center, and at least one strain detecting element on the upper surface or lower surface thereof. The first fixing member is press-fitted into the first fixing hole. The second fixing member is press-fitted into the second fixing hole. The detecting member is press-fitted into the detecting hole. Further, when an external force is applied to the detecting member, strain generated due to the positional shift of the detecting member is detected by the strain detecting element with respect to the first fixing member and the second fixing member.

Abstract: A strain sensor includes a metal plate, a first glass layer on the metal plate, a second glass layer provided on the first glass layer and having a color different from that of the first glass layer, an electrode on the second glass layer, a strain-sensitive resistor on the second glass layer, a circuit pattern on the second glass layer for connecting the electrode to the strain-sensitive resistor, and an overcoat glass layer for covering the strain-sensitive resistor and the circuit pattern. The strain sensor allows the layers to be identified while being manufactured, hence being controlled easily in its manufacturing processes.
