Abstract :
This paper describes a magnetoelastic based force transducer, one that may be used in the manner of a standard strain gage. The sensor appears to offer several advantages over resistance and semiconductor strain gages. In particular, it has a sensitivity more than an order of magnitude greater than semiconductor strain gages.
