Abstract
A device for measuring forces on a sensor body, comprising a beam. An array comprising at least one recess is formed in the beam. The array has a length-to-height ration of less than 1.0. At least one strain transducer is mounted in at least one recess, wherein when incorporated in a sensor body the device is sufficiently rigid to provide low overall deflection while providing adequately high metric strain levels.
