ABSTRACT:
A multi-axis force transducer capable of producing discrete output signals for forces and moments in each of three orthogonal directions is taught. Briefly stated, a base having three U shaped slots nested within each other are disposed inside a base or body. A series of holes through the base are placed parallel to the leg of the U-shaped slots with strain gages positioned therein thereby providing a plurality of beams. The body is relatively rigidly supported so as to allow free movement of the beams with an additional beam attached thereto to provide measurement capability for moments about one of the orthogonal axis. The strain gages are electrically interconnected so as to provide discrete output signals for forces and for moments in each of three orthogonal directions.
