Bi-directional force sensing device with reduced cross-talk between the sensitive elements and method for reducing cross-talk in a bi-directional force sensing device

摘要

The invention provides a method and a bi-directional force sensing device with reduced cross-talk between the sensitive elements. The device contains an L-shaped mounting base, which supports force sensitive elements positioned on mutually perpendicular mounting legs of the mounting base. These force sensitive elements are interconnected by a sensor cross-talk reducing member via respective adapters in such a way that one force is translated to the one force sensitive element without affecting or disturbing another force sensitive element, thus reducing the cross-talk between the first and the second force measurements.
