Abstract
An elastically deformable load bearing structure includes a measuring arrangement for measuring a magnitude of a load acting on the load bearing structure in a loadable section. A mechanical transmission element extends from the loadable section to a measuring section of the load bearing structure and cooperates operatively with a sensor. The sensor is arranged in the measurement section. The mechanical transmission element is constructed as a pivotable rocker supported by a rocker bearing positioned inside a length of the transmission element.

An elastically deformable load bearing structure comprising:
- a measuring arrangement for measuring a magnitude of a load acting on the load bearing structure in a loadable section;
- a mechanical transmission element that extends from the loadable section to a measurement section of the load bearing structure and cooperates operatively with a sensor which is arranged in the measurement section;
- and
- wherein the mechanical transmission element is constructed as a pivotable rocker supported by a rocker bearing positioned inside a length of the transmission element.
An elastically deformable load bearing structure comprising:
- a measuring arrangement for a measuring magnitude of a load acting on the load bearing structure in a loadable section,
- a mechanical transmission element that extends from the loadable section to a measurement section of the load bearing structure and cooperates operatively with a sensor which is arranged in the measurement section;
- and
- wherein the mechanical transmission element has a mechanical filter for filtering bending moments, in such manner that in operation only shearing forces corresponding to the load are transmitted from the section for detecting the load to the measuring section.
