    Abstract: With the Z-axis given as a central axis, on an XY-plane, arranged are a rigid force receiving ring, a flexible detection ring inside thereof, and a cylindrical fixed assistant body further inside thereof. Two fixing points on the detection ring are fixed to a supporting substrate, and two exertion points are connected to the force receiving ring via connection members. When force and moment are exerted on the force receiving ring, with the supporting substrate fixed, the detection ring undergoes elastic deformation. Capacitance elements or others are used to measure distances between measurement points and the fixed assistant body and distances between the measurement points and the supporting substrate. Elastic deformation of the detection ring is recognized for mode and magnitude, thereby detecting a direction and magnitude of force or moment which is exerted.

    Abstract: A small, high-stiffness torque sensor. An annular deformable body is disposed between left and right side supports. Convex sections protruding from the left side support in a rightward direction are joined to the left side surface of the annular deformable body, and convex sections protruding from the right side support in a leftward direction are joined to the right side surface of the annular deformable body. When force is applied to the right side support and torque around the Z axis acts on the left side support, the annular deformable body is elliptically deformed and the long-axis position of the inner peripheral surface of the annular deformable body moves away from the Z axis while the short-axis position moves closer to the Z axis. The acting torque is detected as a variation in the capacitance value of capacitive elements formed by displacement electrodes and fixed electrodes.

    Abstract: Between an upper substrate 10 and a lower substrate 20 parallel to the XY plane, a first columnar member P1 and a second columnar member P2 are disposed. The upper end of each columnar member P1 or P2 is connected to the upper substrate 10 via an upper film portion 11 or 12, and the lower end is connected to the lower substrate 20 via a conductive lower film portion 21 or 22. The columnar members P1 and P2 are inclined mutually opposite with respect to vertical reference axes R1 and R2. When a rightward force +Fx is applied to the upper substrate 10 and the upper substrate 10 slides rightward, the columnar member P1 incline in a laying-down direction and the lower film portion 21 is deformed upward, and the columnar member P2 inclines in a rising direction and the lower film portion 22 is deformed downward. Based on a difference in capacitance value between a capacitance element consisting of the lower film portion 21 and an electrode E5 and a capacitance element consisting of the lower film portion 22 and an electrode E6, the force Fx in the X-axis direction is detected. By summing the capacitance values, a force Fz in the Z-axis direction can also be detected.

An oscillator is fixed on the lower surface, and five lower electrode layers are formed on the upper surface, of the flexible substrate. Five upper electrode layers are formed on the lower surface of the fixed substrate so as to oppose the lower electrodes.

    Abstract: A flexible substrate (110) having flexibility and a fixed substrate (120) disposed so as to oppose it are supported at their peripheral portions by a sensor casing (140). An oscillator (130) is fixed on the lower surface of the flexible substrate. Five lower electrode layers (F1 to F5: F1 and F2 are disposed at front and back of F5) are formed on the upper surface of the flexible substrate. Five upper electrode layers (E1 to E5) are formed on the lower surface of the fixed substrate so as to oppose the lower electrodes. In the case of detecting an angular velocity ωx about the X-axis, an a.c. voltage is applied across a predetermined pair of opposite electrode layers (E5, F5) to allow the oscillator to undergo oscillation Uz in the Z-axis direction. Thus, a Coriolis force Fy proportional to the angular velocity ωx is applied to the oscillator in the Y-axis. By this Coriolis force Fy, the oscillator is caused to undergo displacement in the Y-axis direction. As a result, the distance between opposite electrode layers (E3, F3) arranged in the positive direction of the Y-axis becomes smaller, and the distance between opposite electrode layers (E4, F4) arranged in the negative direction of the Y-axis becomes greater. Thus, capacitance value C3 increases and capacitance value C4 decreases. By change of the capacitance value, it is possible to detect the magnitude of the Coriolis force Fy, and to determine angular velocity ωx. Similarly, it is possible to detect an angular velocity ωy about the Y-axis and an angular velocity ωz about the Z-axis.
