Claim 11:
12. A method for mounting a device for detecting a rail load in a rail, the method comprising the following steps:
fabricating a bore with a bore radius in the rail (1);
inserting into the bore a device having a sensor housing in which is arranged at least one piezoelectric sensor element wherein under an action of the rail load said piezoelectric sensor element generates electric polarization charges as the load signal, wherein said sensor housing is delimited by a lateral surface that has an oversize with respect to the bore radius in a first peripheral surface arc that has a larger dimension; and wherein the step of inserting the device with the sensor housing having said oversize includes creating a form- and force-fit connection between the sensor housing and the bore.
