The force transducer (8) is arranged in the force path between a coupling element and a carrier component for measurement of strain, compression and/or supporting forces between a tractor vehicle and trailer. The force transducer consists of at least one measurement spring (13,14) with attached arrangements of mechanical-electrical converters (17,18). The force transducer can be a frame with two vertical and two horizontal sides, whereby two opposing sides of the frame form carrier bars which can be connected to a part of the tractor vehicle or trailer. The two other sides of the frame are formed by measurement springs, each with an arrangement of mechanical-electrical converters. The measurement springs are connected to a coupling element arranged symmetrically wrt. the central axis of the frame. <IMAGE> |
