The friction force effects had to be estimated using a rotating sensor. Finally, to protect the sensor from shock effects, a constructive solution is proposed. The accuracy of the new device is estimated using FE analysis. %K impact mechanics %K shock sensor protection %K spatial mechanism %K FEA simulation %U http://www.utgjiu.ro/rev_mec/mecanica/pdf/2011-02/9_Alaci.pdf
