procedure for manufacture of a flexible device for anvendning in a kraftavkennande elements

摘要

The necessity for rigorously controlling process variables or making physical measurements is eliminated in a method of manufacturing a flexure for use in connecting a force sensing element to a mounting base in a force transducer where indicator portions are provided in a blank and material is removed uniformly from the blank including indicator portions until the indicator portions disappear. This process can also be used to configure a flexure out of a unitary piece of material such as fused quartz where a blank is masked except for indicator portions on each surface of the blank and at least one other surface portion; material is removed from the non-masked portions of the blank; and after removing the mask, material is removed from the blank until the indicator portions disappear.
