Abstract
Remote measurements of small displacement and force taken with frequency methods are usually produced by the string transducers that are simple, reliable, and accurate. Two types of string transducers were widely known and used for a long time: (1) with a round string and (2) with an initially flat string. Later the author of this book developed a new type of string transducer with helicoidal pretwisted strips. Other types of frequency transducers are the vibrating cantilevers and diaphragms. Vibrating miniature cantilevers with different shapes and coatings are essential as precision sensors for the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
