Abstract
The invention relates to a load cell comprising a spring body having an outer support ring, having an inner force introduction element, and having an annular deformation section via which the support ring and the force introduction element are fixedly connected to one another; a measuring transducer for generating an output signal corresponding to a weight acting on the force introduction element; and means electrically connected to the measuring transducer that are configured to output the output signal generated by the measuring transducer to external. The means for the external output of the output signal are provided at the force introduction element.

A load cell comprising
- a spring body having an outer support ring, having an inner force introduction element, and having an annular deformation section via which the support ring and the force introduction element are fixedly connected to one another;
- a measuring transducer for generating an output signal corresponding to a weight acting on the force introduction element;
- and
- means electrically connected to the measuring transducer that are configured to output the output signal generated by the measuring transducer to external,
- wherein the means for the external output of the output signal are provided at the force introduction element.
A weighing foot having a load cell, the load cell comprising
- a spring body having an outer support ring, having an inner force introduction element, and having an annular deformation section via which the support ring and the force introduction element are fixedly connected to one another;
- a measuring transducer for generating an output signal corresponding to a weight acting on the force introduction element;
- and
- means electrically connected to the measuring transducer that are configured to output the output signal generated by the measuring transducer to external,
