A load cell, which is particularly suitable for measuring the forces in a rolling mill, has a measuring body 17 in the form of a hollow cylinder for measuring a load acting on areas of the end surfaces 7, 8 of the measuring body and tending to compress the measuring body in its axial direction. The measuring body is provided at a plurality of locations along the circumference of its arcuate wall with measuring devices 18-20, for example magnetoelastic transducers or strain gauges, for measuring the stress or strain in the measuring body caused by the load. The wall of the measuring body is provided with substantially axially disposed through- going slots 21-24 which screen the measuring devices from circumferential tensile or compressive stress which can arise in the measuring body depending on the distribution of the load on the end surfaces of the measuring body. <IMAGE> |
