METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A FORCE, AND USE OF THE METHOD AND/OR OF THE APPARATUS

摘要

A method determines a force which acts via a drive wheel, which is fastened on a motor shaft of an electric motor or on an output shaft of a geared motor, on a component, which is coupled to the drive wheel directly in form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. The electric motor is coupled electrically to a power amplifier, which is coupled to a power-supply unit via a connecting circuit. The force is determined using a voltage and a current which are determined in the connecting circuit. An apparatus implements the method.
