ABSTRACT:
A method for deriving the components of a load force applied to a force sensor, and a force sensor structure adapted for use with this method. A plurality of strain gauges are attached to the force sensing structure in such a manner that at least one strain gauge will provide an output indication of any force which may be applied to the sensor. By properly calibrating the sensor and processing the strain gauge outputs, the components of a load force applied to the sensor may be expressed in a Cartesian or other selected coordinate system without the need to provide for decoupling of the force components within the force sensor.
