A joint joins an alloy member to a ceramic member via a glass joining agent, which is joined to the alloy member by a material bonded joint and to the ceramic member by a further material bonded joint. The glass joining agent is made of a glass having a melting point below 800&#xb0; C.; a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least 9-10Kand a bismuth content of at least 10%. The alloy member has a coefficient of thermal expansion of at least 9-10K. The ceramic member has a maximum coefficient of thermal expansion of 8-10K. The material bonded joint defines a mixing region that is a partial region of the ceramic member, and the bismuth content in the mixing region is higher than that of the ceramic member outside the mixing region.

Joint, electrical feedthrough, and sensor

A strain transmitter for detecting strain of a structure includes a strain body, which has a strain axis with fastening devices for fastening the strain body on a structure, and a measurement element, which is arranged centrally between the fastening devices on the strain axis. The measurement element includes a metal sheet. The entire surface of a statically measuring, piezo-resistant silicon chip, which is connected to a full bridge and emits a voltage in the strained state proportional to the level of strain, is applied to the metal sheet. The measurement element includes a printed circuit board, and electric contacts are guided from the silicon chip along the printed circuit board.

Strain transmitter

A coupling for a plastics injection molding machine which connects a drive shaft to a screw comprises at least one force sensor with a measuring element for the indirect determination of the nozzle pressure. The coupling comprises a first connection which has torsional strength and does not transfer axial force. The coupling comprises a second connection, which is mechanically uncoupled from the first connection and is compression proof and does not transfer torque between the drive shaft and the feed screw. The measuring element is arranged in the force path A of the second compression proof connection but is not also in the force path T of the first connection. Thus, during operation, measurements in the measuring element are not falsified by torsional forces.
