ABSTRACT:
A force transducer element (20) comprises a body (22) of magnetisable material having at least one magnetised region (30) at an angle, say 45°, to the force-sensing direction (P—P). Preferably there are a plurality of parallel magnetised regions of alternating opposite polarity of magnetisation to form closed loops (43p, 43n). The element may be a block having opposite force receiving surfaces (24, 24′). The body (122) may contain plural transducer elements (120a,120b) angled to one another to resolve force directions. The principle is extended to a circular transducer element (243). The invention may be implemented in a flexible magnetic tape. Another embodiment (300) is realised in a planar structure in which a ferromagnetic core (310) is subject to a magnetic field (326) at an angle to the direction (F) of force application generated by laterally offset coils (312, 314). A sensor device (330) is fabricated in the structure.
