The present invention relates to a device for measuring a force component or torque component, in particular weight, the device having a deformation member and a separate measuring element (5) for measuring at least one force component, and an electronics unit (6) connected to the measuring element (5) for evaluating a measuring signal of the measuring element (5). The present invention also relates to a method for measuring with the aid of such a device. The object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method for measuring a force component, where the force component may be measured in a simple, inexpensive, and reliable manner. This object is achieved in that the deformation member has a base part (3) and a tongue (2) that is movable with respect to it; that a gap (4) situated between the base part (3) and the tongue (2) is designed in such a manner, that the gap width is variable in response to introducing the force component onto the deformation member; and that the measuring element (5) converts the change in the gap width to a measuring signal.
