Abstract
A multicomponent force and moment measuring arrangement wherein shear forces are converted into moments and transmitted via tensile-compressive forces onto piezoelectric rod elements, while axial compressive-tensile forces are transmitted directly onto the same piezoelectric rod elements. With appropriate arrangement of the piezoelectric rods and their signal evaluation, transducers and dynamometers of entirely new type can be constructed, in which the necessary electronics package can be located between the piezoelectric rod elements for certain applications.
