Abstract
A torque sensor packaging system and method includes a torque member that includes one or more holes formed therein for receiving one or more respective fasteners associated with a sensing element. The sensing element can be connected to the torque member to the sensing element in order to transfer torque associated with the torque member to the sensing element for torque sensing operations thereof.
Claims10
A torque sensor packaging system, comprising:
- a torque member comprising a blind hole wherein the blind hole is a concave cavity within the torque member having an open top, a closed bottom, and a single continuous sidewall between the top and the bottom;
- and
- a sensing element comprising a SAW die and inside said blind hole and fixedly attached to said torque member in order to transfer a torque associated with said torque member to said sensing element for torque sensing operations;
- wherein said sensing element is associated with a coupler for the wireless transmission of data from said sensing element, wherein said coupler comprises a PCB or an impregnated plastic component that includes a plurality of holes through which a plurality of respective fasteners are driven into said torque member.
