Abstract:
1. A multiaxial force/torque sensor assembly comprising: a printed circuit board; a transducer body in mechanical contact with the printed circuit board; and a set of at least two sensors each being made of strain gauges, which are each arranged at a definite angle and distance relative to each other and which are each fixed to the transducer body, wherein the printed circuit board includes clearances for each strain gauge, respectively, and associated electronic components and wiring located on a remaining area of the printed circuit board for monitoring compressive and tensile stresses in measurement directions of the sensors, wherein the transducer body has at least one of (i) a ring structure which includes a first concentric ring being joined to one of a disk and a second concentric ring by at least three beams, and (ii) a spoke wheel structure having spoke-arms.
