Patent ID: 7665370

Claim:
A measuring transducer of the vibration-type for a medium flowing in a pipeline, comprising: a measuring tube having an inlet tube piece on an inlet end and an outlet tube piece on an outlet end, said measuring tube vibrating at least at times during operation and serving for conveying the medium, and communicating with the pipeline via said inlet tube piece and said outlet tube piece; a counteroscillator affixed to said measuring tube at said inlet end to form a first coupling zone and at said outlet end to form a second coupling zone; a sensor arrangement held, at least partly, at said counteroscillator for registering oscillations at least of said measuring tube; an exciter mechanism held, at least partly, at said counteroscillator for driving at least said measuring tube; a transducer housing affixed to said inlet tube piece and to said outlet tube piece; and connection lines, at least two of said connection lines being routed at least sectionally along said counteroscillator and being secured, at least pointwise, thereto, as well as to said transducer housing, wherein: said connection lines are routed along said conteroscillator essentially symmetrically with respect to a principal axis of inertia of the inner part formed by means of said measuring tube and said counteroscillator, at least one of said connection lines secured to the counteroscillator as well as to the transducer housing being connected to the exciter mechanism.
