Assignee: SILMACH
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A MEMS type deformation sensor for measuring a relative displacement between two areas of a structure, comprising:
a first part and a second part movable relative to each other along a direction of measurement,
a pushing element fixedly mounted relative to the first part,
a first electrode and a second electrode adapted to be brought to different electric potentials, each electrode being fixedly mounted relative to the second part, and
a junction part forming an electrical connection between the first electrode and the second electrode,
wherein the pushing element is configured to exert a load on the junction part (I) when the first part moves relative to the second part along the direction of measurement beyond a predetermined distance, the electrical connection being broken under the effect of the load.
