Abstract

A transducer of bending and twisting moments exerted between two mechanical assemblies for the measuring of machining forces comprises two plates connected by a flexible beam. Devices for measuring the desired moments are connected to each of these plates, in such a way that their informations are unlinked. Advantageously, these devices can be prestressed in compression by means of stacks of cupped washers.
