ABSTRACT:
An electronic transmitter element of the type cable load gauge for measuring the tension on a stretched flexible cable to generate an electric signal corresponding to the load acting on the cable. The transmitter element comprises a frame portion (1,2) with two bearing members (3,4) being disposed at opposite ends of the frame portion and preferably made in the form of rollers (4) for engagement with the tensioned cable (5,6) at one side thereof, a force detecting member (8,10,11) being disposed substantially midway between the bearing members and engaging the opposite side of the cable in a direction perpendicular to its orientations, thereby forming a breaking point in which a force perpendicular to the cable is detectable. The force detecting member comprises a measuring bar (11) with strain gauges (16), one end of the bar being connected to the frame portion (10,12) and the other end being connected with a movable portion (8,19,20) to which the cable is attached. The measuring rod (11) will be subjected to tensile stress when the force detecting member is affected by a tension load effecting the cable.
