Force measurement device for measuring the vertical force component (P) acting on a coupling (1) between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle. The coupling includes two stiff holder plates (4, 6) and an intermediate sensor means (5) having at least one deflectable or pivotable sensor plate (10). The sensor plate (10) is deflected or pivoted under the action of a vertical force (P) by the holder plates (4, 6) being restrictedly, mutually pivotable, there being spacer means (8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 9c) which are placed in staggered relationship between the sensor plate (10) and the respective holder plates (4, 6) on each side of the fastening means keeping the holder plates and the intermediate sensor means together. Transducer means are arranged on the deflectable or pivotable sensor plate (10) for sensing the deflection or pivoting and emitting an electrical signal corresponding to the vertical force (P). |
