Abstract
Disclosed are a device for the measurement of stresses exerted on a mechanical part and a method for the fastening of this device. The device comprises at least one plate and one strain gauge, the gauge being fixed to the plate which is connected to the mechanical part by linking and coupling means, the strain gauge generating an electrical signal representing the stresses exerted. Application to the measurement of stresses exerted on all types of mechanical parts, notably on brake calipers.
