A weldable strain sensor assembly configured to be joined to an instrumented component includes: a stand-off; a substrate disposed on top of the stand-off; and a sensing component disposed on a top or a bottom of the substrate; wherein the combination of the stand-off and the substrate are configured to suspend the sensing component over the instrumented component with a defined gap between the instrumented component and at least one of: the substrate; and, the sensing component.

Weldable strain sensor assembly

A strain sensor assembly is configured to detect one or more of forces applied to a structure having a recess. The strain sensor can include at least a pair of opposed strain gauge members that extend from the support member. Each strain gauge member defines a support portion carried by the support member and a biasing portion. The support portion includes at least one strain gauge sensor. The biasing portion is configured to bias against a wall of the recess of the structure when the strain sensor assembly is disposed in the recess. The strain sensor assembly is configured such that the at least a pair of strain gauge members form an interference fit with the wall of the recess when the strain sensor assembly is inserted in the recess.

A device detecting tension in synthetic rigging in a sailboat. A deadeye used in rigging has an opening therein containing a strain gauge module. The strain gauge module is positioned between one end of the deadeye and lashing eyelets. Different strain gauge module substrate configurations are used. A transmitter module is coupled to the strain gauge module for wirelessly transmitting signals representative of the rigging load or tension. The strain gauge module is easily removable for repair or replacement.
