ABSTRACT:
A force sensor for measuring tightening tension applied to an assembly component having first and second faces and an axis of symmetry includes a ceramic support layer having a mounting side to be secured to the first face and an exposed side carrying a piezoresistive layer having a resistance that varies in response to its deformation. The force sensor may comprise a central metallic layer and an annular metallic layer joined by the piezoresistive layer or at least two separate sensors having angularly disposed longitudinal axes. A machine for tightening the assembly component includes a motor driven socket for torquing the component in accordance with a sensed tightening tension.
