MOMENT COMPENSATED BENDING BEAM SENSOR FOR LOAD MEASUREMENT ON PLATFORM SUPPORTED BY BENDING BEAMS

摘要

A method for manufacturing a flexural beam sensor coupled to a touch input device is provided. The method includes providing a bending beam. The method also includes placing a first strain gage and a second strain gage on the surface of the beam near the first end of the beam and aligning the first strain gage and the second strain gage with the beam along an axis . The first end is attached to the base. The method includes coupling the first strain gage and the second strain gage to a plate of the touch input device and causing the differential signal from the first strain gage and the second strain gauge to be acquired when a load is applied on the plate of the touch input device And electrically connecting the first strain gage and the second strain gage.
