In a method for measuring force with a force measuring apparatus (1) which has a two-armed lever (2) pivotably mounted in an eccentric manner, wherein a load application joint is respectively arranged on each lever arm (4, 8) and is in the form of a flexible joint spring (3, 6, 9), the deformation of which can be measured using deformation measuring devices, wherein a predefinable load acts on a first lever arm (4) and the lever (2) is changed to a force measuring state by exerting a tensile force or a compressive force on a second lever arm (8) and the tensile or compressive force required for this purpose is determined, an axial force acting on at least one joint spring (3, 6, 9) is detected in this joint spring (3, 6, 9) and a predefinable portion of the axial force determined is taken into account for predefining the force measuring state. A compensation tensile or compressive force is determined on the basis of the axial force determined and is additionally taken into account in the case of an electronically controlled or regulated predefinition of the force measuring state. In a preceding method step, the force measuring apparatus (1) is calibrated and values determined in the process are determined for an additionally required compensation tensile or compressive force and are stored in a retrievable manner in a storage device.
