Abstract
A force measurement sensor for measuring an applied force onto an object is provided. The force measurement sensor includes a sensing unit including a concentrator, a generator, a detector, and an evaluator. The concentrator points towards the object. The generator generates a magnetic field. The detector detects a magnetic field generated by the generator and influenced by the applied force to be measured. The detector outputs a first signal of the detected magnetic field. The evaluator evaluates a signal strength of the signal and determines the applied force based on the signal. A longitudinal axis of the detector is arranged for a lateral offset between the longitudinal axis of the detector and a central axis of the concentrator that is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the concentrator.
