Injection device of an injection moulding machine

An injection device for an injection moulding machine for melting and injecting a plastic mass into a mould of the injection moulding machine, comprising an injection drive, which has an injection spindle and a spindle nut and is designed so as to rotate the injection spindle relative to the spindle nut, an injection slide, which is connected to the spindle nut in a rotationally rigid manner on one lateral surface and held so as to be movable along a slide guide, a guide housing, on which a plasticizing cylinder is held on the side facing away from the injection slide, a bearing housing, which is arranged between the guide housing and the injection slide and in which a driveshaft is rotatably supported, wherein said driveshaft can be drive-connected to an injection screw that is movably arranged within the plasticizing cylinder, and wherein said bearing housing is connected to the injection slide on a lateral surface of the injection slide facing away from the spindle nut, as well as a metering drive that is fastened on the injection slide and designed so as to rotate the driveshaft,

• wherein
• a force measuring device, which determines at least an injection force, is externally fastened on a force transmission component that is arranged between the bearing housing and the spindle nut and lies in the flux of force of the injection device.
