Abstract
A transducer for mounting on the rocker arm used for operating the unit injectors of diesel engines comprising a bowed strip of metal, a strain gauge element rigidly attached to a central portion of the inner or outer surface of the bowed element, an encapsulation layer of epoxy resin covering the strain gauge element and the bowed strip over most of its central extent, the ends of the bowed strip being adapted for rigid fixing into two openings spaced apart in the longitudinal direction in the surface of the rocker arm structure of a diesel engine.
