LOAD MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING LOAD

摘要

The invention relates to a load measuring device including a deformable component (10) configured to be deformed under a load to be measured and a sensor assembly (12) attached to a first portion of said deformable component (10) and to a method for determining load using such a sensor assembly (12). It is proposed that the sensor assembly (12) includes at least one acceleration sensor (14) configured to detect a change in an orientation of said first portion with regard to the direction of gravity (G) and that said deformable component (10) is formed as a seal (10) configured to be in sliding contact with a component (20) configured to rotate in relation to the seal (10).
