摘要：The invention is a system for measuring the thrust (and, optionally, radial) loadsplaced on a support thrust bearing assembly that supports a rotating shaft in anapparatus. The system includes an apparatus housing and a load isolation member that

supports the support thrust bearing. The load isolation member is not in contact with theapparatus housing. A force sensor is disposed between the apparatus housing and theload isolation member such that axial loads, and optionally radial loads, are permitted tobe transmitted by the load isolation member from the support thrust bearing assemblyand are measured continuously by the sensor. The corresponding method for measuringthe axial load placed on a support thrust bearing assembly that supports a rotating shaftin an apparatus includes providing an apparatus housing and a load isolation membersupporting the support thrust bearing. The load isolation member is disposed such thatit is not in contact with the apparatus housing. A force sensor is disposed between theapparatus housing and the load isolation member. Axial loads placed on said supportthrust bearing assembly are measured with said force sensor.
