ABSTRACT:
A force sensor is provided with a two piece actuation system. A first actuator is disposed in contact with the pressure sensitive component and a second actuator is disposed in contact with the first actuator. When an external force is exerted against a distal end of the second actuator, for force is transmitted through the second actuator to the first actuator. The force is then transmitted through the first actuator to the pressure sensitive component. By using a two piece actuation system, the first actuator can be maintained at a constant location in contact with a position on the pressure sensitive component. This position will not vary even when the second actuator is moved or tilted. An elastomeric plate can be used to retain the first actuator in a constant position relative to the pressure sensitive component.
