Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a flexure-based planar force/torque sensor. The sensor is built as a monolithic structure with flexure components and strain gauges. The strains on the flexure components caused by loads will be sensed by the strain gauges and will be used to calculate the appropriate loads. This paper also presented the studies on the sensibility and the appropriate positions for bonding strain gauges.
