Abstract
A device for detecting the compressive forces between two bodies (1, 2) that can be placed against each other under the action of force comprises a measuring foil (8) that can be inserted into the butt joint (6) between the two bodies (1, 2), is arranged between two cover layers (9), and has electrical properties that change depending on the compression. The two tensile-resistant cover layers (9) are connected to each other in a shear-resistant manner.
Claims4
A device for detecting compressive forces between two bodies that can be placed against each other with a force, said device comprising:
- a measuring foil configured to be inserted into a butt joint between the two bodies, wherein said measuring foil is arranged between two tensile-resistant cover layers and has electrical properties that change depending on magnitude of force of compression thereof;
- wherein the two tensile-resistant cover layers are connected to each other so as to resist shear therebetween.
