The invention relates to a preload device (1) having a receiving pocket (11) for receiving a force sensor, which preload device can be arranged in a recess in a machine part or between multiple machine parts or in a drum, and which preload device can flexibly and more simply be installed in recesses of different shapes and easily detachably fastened therein. This is achieved in that the preload device (1) has a tool engagement section (12) which is spaced apart from the receiving pocket (11) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L), and at least one elastically flexible section (101) is non-detachably arranged between the receiving pocket (11) and at least one of the force introduction plates (100), wherein, by means of elastic bending of the at least one elastically flexible section (101), the height of a relaxed state of the preload device (1) can be reduced to a height in an inserted state through the application of forces to at least one of the force introduction plates (100, 100') and to the tool engagement section (12) in respectively different directions parallel to the longitudinal axis (L). |
