Abstract

A medical treatment or examination device includes at least one device component that may move relative to at least one other device component via a drive device. A measuring device is provided for detecting a load acting on the movable device component. The measuring device includes a support that bends due to the load. The support, at least in a bending region, has a section producing a magnetic field. The measuring device also includes at least one coil that is assigned to the section and in which the magnetic field undergoing a change as a result of bending due to a load induces an induction current that serves as measurement signal describing the load.
