Force sensor for pressure or pushing forces, e.g. in extrusion conveyors or in locking doors, has a housing that is hermetically sealed to it and flexible so that sensor service life is extended

摘要

Force sensor for measuring pressure or pushing forces, has a measurement body (16) with a force measurement zone (18) in which a force measurement system (22-28) is arranged that is capable of measuring strain, compression or bending of the measurement body. The force sensor has a housing (32) that extends over at least a partial length of the measurement body and is hermetically sealed against it. The housing has a zone in which it bends along the longitudinal axis of the measurement body.
