Abstract
An instrumented pin sensor includes: a support body in the form of a pin having an axial cross section that is only partially circular, forming a first outer surface with a profile that follows the partially circular axial cross section, and a second outer surface with a profile that does not follow the partially circular axial cross section; a strain sensing electrical circuit having at least one strain sensing gauge, the strain sensing electrical circuit fixedly disposed on the second outer surface; a plurality of electrical leads having a first end electrically connected to the strain sensing electrical circuit and fixedly attached to the second outer surface of the support body, and a second end extending from the support body; wherein the second outer surface runs the entire length of the support body with material of the support body only on an underside of the second outer surface.
