ABSTRACT:
A force measuring device has a cell possessing an axis and a ring. The ring is coaxial with the axis and is elastically deformable by shearing as a result of forces which are parallel to the axis and are input into the inner and outer sides of the ring. The resistance is applied to a circuit to generate an electrical signal having a characteristic the value of which corresponds to the applied input force. As an alternative, the transducing element advantageously may be an elongated elastically stretchable carrier member having a strain gage mounted thereon. As a further alternative, the transducing element advantageously may be a piezoelectric crystal, or the like, provided with electrodes. Such a transducing element is mounted and held so as to generate an electrical signal in response to compression forces acting at the two holders.
