Abstract:
1. A force sensor assembly having an axis of measurement along an axial direction of the force sensor assembly, comprising: a deformable force ring having force-receiving regions arranged to receive oppositely directed forces whereby the force ring may deform in response to application of forces to the force-receiving regions, the force ring having at least two sensing elements arranged to generate a signal corresponding to the degree of force ring deformation; a printed circuit board disposed directly against a surface of the force ring, the board having electronic components thereto, the sensing elements being electrically coupled to the electronic components; a covering plate in engagement with the printed circuit board and connected to the force ring for holding the printed circuit board against the surface of the force ring; and a sensor cap covering the printed circuit board and covering plate and attached to the force ring.
