FORCE PICKUP Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01L1/22 

FIELD: force-measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: force pickup can be used in branches of industry where it is necessary to measure compression and expansion strength, for example, for measurement forces during inspection of technological processes. Pickup has group of three beams being capable of working for shift. Beams are disposed radial and are uniformly distributed along circle. They are connected by elastic center. Pickup also has resistance-strain gauges disposed on beams and force-taking members. Pickup is additionally provided with identical group of beams. External ends of beams of any group are connected pair-wise tightly by surfaces turned to each other to form through groove between elastic centers and pair-wise beams. Axial holes for force-taking members are made in elastic centers of groups of beams. Shift deformations are provided within area of mounting of resistance-strain gauges at nominal strength due to formation of groove between groups of beams.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of operation.
