The invention concerns a sensing device for determining intensity levels of two orthogonal components of a particular force, and measuring and analyzing devices incorporating such a sensor. The sensing device (1) is characterized in that it mainly consists of two force sensors (5, 5') in the form of bending sensors, mounted in series and forming constituent parts of a structure (4) extending between a measuring point (2) whereat is applied the force to be determined, and a reference point (2'), said non-aligned and coplanar force sensors (5, 5') defining the plane of two orthogonal components (F<SB>T</SB>, F<SB>N</SB>) to be measured and being arranged such that the torques resulting at said two force sensors (5, 5') is formed, for one (5, 5') by the sum of elementary torques produced by the two orthogonal force components (F<SB>T</SB>, F<SB>N</SB>) at the said force sensor (5 or 5') and, for the other (5 or 5'), by the difference of elementary torques produced by the two orthogonal force components (F<SB>T</SB>, F<SB>N</SB>) at said other force sensor (5' or 5).
