Measuring apparatus arranged for measuring the pull-off force of connecting elements of a capsule, said measuring apparatus comprising: - a detecting unit arranged for obtaining the pull-off force of said connecting elements by measuring a plurality of tensile force values to which said capsule is subjected in said measuring apparatus, said detecting unit comprising: - a hollow gripping spindle provided with a ridge to which said capsule is connectable, said ridge being configured for interacting with said capsule to retain axially a tamper evident band of said capsule; - pusher means arranged for interacting with at least one portion of an inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) of said capsule moving along a breakage direction to impose said tensile force on said capsule in order to cause a breakage of at least one part of said connecting elements of said capsule, said pusher means being shaped to slide inside a longitudinal cavity formed inside said hollow gripping spindle; - sensor means associated with said pusher means to detect said plurality of values of said tensile force imposed by said pusher means on said portion of said inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) during movement along said breakage direction; said measuring apparatus being characterized in that it further comprises a lifting and abutting device arranged for supplying said capsule to said detecting unit, said lifting and abutting device being movable along an operating direction, having at least one component that is substantially parallel to and concordant with said breakage direction, and said pusher means being movable along said breakage direction, simultaneously with said lifting and abutting device, so that an abutting surface with which said lifting and abutting device is provided is maintained at a set distance (X; Y) from an end wall of said capsule, said abutting surface cooperating with said end wall, in order to counteract excessive tipping of said capsule during the application of said tensile force. - a detecting unit arranged for obtaining the pull-off force of said connecting elements by measuring a plurality of tensile force values to which said capsule is subjected in said measuring apparatus, said detecting unit comprising: - a hollow gripping spindle provided with a ridge to which said capsule is connectable, said ridge being configured for interacting with said capsule to retain axially a tamper evident band of said capsule; - pusher means arranged for interacting with at least one portion of an inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) of said capsule moving along a breakage direction to impose said tensile force on said capsule in order to cause a breakage of at least one part of said connecting elements of said capsule, said pusher means being shaped to slide inside a longitudinal cavity formed inside said hollow gripping spindle; - sensor means associated with said pusher means to detect said plurality of values of said tensile force imposed by said pusher means on said portion of said inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) during movement along said breakage direction; - a hollow gripping spindle provided with a ridge to which said capsule is connectable, said ridge being configured for interacting with said capsule to retain axially a tamper evident band of said capsule; - pusher means arranged for interacting with at least one portion of an inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) of said capsule moving along a breakage direction to impose said tensile force on said capsule in order to cause a breakage of at least one part of said connecting elements of said capsule, said pusher means being shaped to slide inside a longitudinal cavity formed inside said hollow gripping spindle; - sensor means associated with said pusher means to detect said plurality of values of said tensile force imposed by said pusher means on said portion of said inner surface (214; 214, 215; 214, 216) during movement along said breakage direction;
