Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2759458A1] The invention concerns a sensor comprising a) a cylindrical base (1) formed by an axial shaft (2) projecting from a ring-shaped collar (3), both traversed by an axial bore (4); b) a washer (6) made of piezoelectric material passing on the shaft; c) means for sampling (71, 72) the voltage prevailing between two radial faces of the washer; d) a ring-shaped mass (9) also passing on the shaft (2); and e) stop means co-operating with the ring-shaped collar (3) for mutually squeezing the washer (6) and said mass (9). The stop means consist of a flange (17) projecting from said shaft (2) and formed of the material of a predetermined section thereof, deformed by the crushing stress of said base (1).
