Patent ID: 7155348

Claim:
A force-measuring cell with a force transducer comprising: a deformable body that is equipped with sensors, said deformable body connecting a housing-mounted fixed part of the force transducer with a force-introducing part of the force transducer, wherein the sensors are connected to electrical conductors; and a circuit module to process measuring signals and coupled to the force transducer but set apart from the deformable body, connectors for joining the sensors together in a measuring bridge circuit being arranged on the circuit module, and the electrical conductors being configured so that all connector leads that extend from nodal points of the measuring bridge circuit to connector terminals of the sensors have at least approximately equal resistance values, wherein the electrical conductors are routed through at least one flat ribbon cable having a flexible ribbon or foil on which tracks of the electrical conductors are printed, and wherein the flat ribbon cables have a cutout arranged at their ends, said cutout being configured in such a manner that an area between the contact terminals of the sensors is freely accessible.
