Abstract

A sensor assembly has a deformation body having two oppositely lying surfaces and an outer edge segment as well as a sensor blade extending from the surface to a distal end and having a left side, first lateral surface and a right side, second lateral surface. An overload protection apparatus protects the deformation body against plastic deformation and has a support stirrup led with lateral separation around the sensor blade and a first stop and a second stop located on opposite sides of the sensor blade. The stops are so arranged that an intermediate space formed therebetween receives only a portion of the sensor blade. The deformation body and the sensor blade are excitable to oscillate about a shared static resting position and to be moved in such a manner that the sensor blade executes pendulum-like movements elastically deforming the deformation body.
