Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a measurement system. In one example embodiment, a measurement system is disclosed including a flat measurement element receptacle and at least one piezoelectric measurement element. The flat measurement element receptacle having substantially parallel cover surfaces, and is installed between torque- and/or force-transmitting machine parts. The at least one piezoelectric measurement element arranged in a through-opening of the measurement element receptacle and mechanically fixed, with play, in the through-opening.
Claims16
A measurement system comprising:
- a flat measurement element receptacle having substantially parallel cover surfaces, configured and arranged for installation between torque- and/or force-transmitting machine parts;
- and
- at least one piezoelectric measurement element arranged in a through-opening of the flat measurement element receptacle and mechanically fixed with defined play in the through-opening.
A measurement element comprising
- parallel, force-introducing boundary surfaces and a circumferential surface having piezoelectric measurement element disks arranged between the boundary surfaces,
- wherein the circumferential surface further includes structures configured and arranged to mechanically fix, with play, the piezoelectric measurement element with a measurement element receptacle.
A measurement system comprising:
- a flat measurement element receptacle with substantially parallel cover surfaces and including a through-opening with a circumferential wall, and configured and arranged to be installed between torque- and/or force-transmitting machine parts;
- and at least one piezoelectric measurement element arranged in the through-opening of the flat measurement element receptacle, and mechanically fixed with defined play in the through-opening, the at least one piezoelectric measurement element including a circumferential surface with structures configured and arranged to engage with play in at least one spatial direction parallel to the substantially parallel cover surfaces and/or normal to the substantially parallel cover surfaces in corresponding structures on the circumferential wall of the through-opening.
