Abstract
A force/moment sensor for measurement of three orthogonal forces and three orthogonal moments, comprises an inner holding element which is surrounded by an outer holding element. The two holding elements are connected to each other by deformation elements. For each deformation element, at least one deformation transducer is provided. The force/moment sensor is preferably monolithic, and the deformation transducers, formed as strain gauges, are preferably arranged in one plane or in two preferably parallel planes.

A force/moment sensor for measurement of three forces and three moments, comprising:
- an inner holding element surrounded by an outer holding element,
- a plurality of deformation elements connecting the holding elements to each other, wherein the plurality of deformation elements comprises at least six deformation elements, and
- a single deformation transducer for each of the at least six deformation elements so that each of the single deformation transducers is connected to a different one of the at least six deformation elements, each of the single deformation transducers being connectible via lines to an evaluation unit,
- wherein each of the single deformation transducers is arranged exclusively on a top and/or bottom side of the plurality of deformation elements.
