Abstract:
1. A force-measuring element comprising: a series connection of at least two capacitors, wherein, under an action of force, a first capacitance of a first capacitor of the at least two capacitors increases and a second capacitance of a second capacitor of the at least two capacitors decreases; a sleeve; a sleeve circle for transmitting an action of force to the sleeve, wherein the sleeve circle is a radially-encompassing element of the force-measuring element; a connecting element, in which the action of force is provided on a long side of the sleeve; and a solid bar separating the at least two capacitors that stands substantially firm during an application of force, so that a first space having the first capacitor above the bar becomes smaller as a result of the application of force, and below the bar a further space having the second capacitor becomes larger.
