Abstract
A method for the manufacture of a force transducer consisting of a base carrying a stud which carries a set of shear sensitive elements, each having a seismic or force transmitting mass attached to it, the masses being fixed to shear sensitive elements fixed to the stud by means of a cylindrical spring clip surrounding the force transmitting masses and supplying elastic force through the elements to be fixed to the stud, the method involving cutting of slots which are parallel to the axis of the rod with a depth greater than the height of the shear sensitive elements, insertion of shear sensitive elements into the slots, pressing of a cylindrical spring clip around the slotted part of the rod, and cutting radially into the rod so as to remove the material making up the bottom of said slots.
