Abstract: A strain sensor device for measuring loads on aircraft landing gear. This is done by measuring strains in the lower end of the strut, by which we infer the loading in the entire landing gear structure. These strains can be very large (as high as 10,000 microstrain) and can be imposed in numerous random directions and levels. The present invention includes a removable sensor assembly. An electromechanical means is presented that can accommodate large strains, be firmly attached to the strut, and provide good accuracy and resolution.

An example rotation position sensor includes a hub mount that locks within a shaft of a joint, a first sensor attached to the hub mount, and a second sensor attached to the rotatably attached part that does not rotate. The hub mount includes a nut that has a partially tapered surface and a threaded cavity. The nut is secured within the shaft. The hub mount also includes a mounting unit that has a partially tapered surface that is in opposition to the partially tapered surface of the nut. A fastener secures the hub mount to the nut. In one example, the first sensor includes a magnetometer and the second sensor includes magnet(s). In another example, the first sensor includes inductor sensor(s) and the second sensor includes device(s) that causes a change in an inductance value of the inductor sensor(s) as the joint rotates.

Abstract: Disclosed is a capacitive pressure probe for high temperature applications, such as for use in a gas turbine engine. The capacitive probe or pressure sensor of the present invention includes, inter alia, a sensor housing that defines an interior sensing chamber having a pressure port and an interior reference chamber positioned adjacent to a sensing electrode. The reference chamber is separated from the sensing chamber by a deflectable diaphragm made from Haynes 230 alloy, wherein the deflection of the diaphragm in response to an applied pressure in the sensing chamber corresponds to a change in capacitance value detected by the sensing electrode.
