Patent ID: 7654152

Claim:
A measuring transducer of the vibration-type for a medium flowing in a pipeline, said measuring transducer comprising: a measuring tube having an inlet tube piece on a 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, said measuring tube communicating with the pipeline via said inlet tube piece on said inlet end and said outlet tube piece on said outlet end; 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 first cantilever being coupled in the region of said first coupling zone with said inlet tube piece and said measuring tube; a second cantilever being coupled in the region of said second coupling zone with said outlet tube piece and said measuring tube; 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 one of said connection lines being secured at least pointwise to said transducer housing and at least pointwise to an inner part of the measuring transducer formed by means of said measuring tube, said counteroscillator and said two cantilevers, wherein: a section at least of one of said connection lines secured to the inner part and said transducer housing extends freely suspended between two mutually spaced tie-down points pointwise affixing said connection line, of which a first tie-down point is located on the inner part of said measuring transducer and a second tie-down point is located on said transducer housing; and said two tie-down points are so arranged that a relative distance therebetween remains essentially unchanged even when said measuring tube is vibrating.
