Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sensing system comprises a mechanical component that is subject to an applied force. The mechanical component has an outer surface with bores. A concentrator is connected to the mechanical component via fasteners that pass through openings that align with the bores. The concentrator comprises a central neck portion with an elevated pedestal, a first extremity region extending outwardly away from the central neck portion and a second extremity region opposite the first extremity region. The second extremity region extends outwardly away from the central neck portion. A strain sensor is mounted on or coupled to the concentrator to transmit the applied force from the mechanical component via or through the concentrator to the mechanical component.
