Abstract
The present invention concerns a device for the transfer of a mechanical force to a piezo-electric element for the generation of an electrical signal corresponding to the mechanical force, e.g. the tension of a thread or the like and/or the movement of the same, wherein the piezo-electric element is positioned in a holder in order to be actuated by the mechanical force on the end surfaces.
Claims8
A device for transfer of a mechanical force to a piezo-electric element for generation of an electrical signal corresponding to the mechanical force, comprising:
- a holder including a force-receiving part,
- wherein the piezo-electric element is positioned in the holder with the force-receiving part and the piezo-electric element is provided with end surfaces for abutting walls in the holder, whereby the mechanical force is exerted on the end surfaces of the piezo-electric element.
