Abstract
A vehicle wheel with monitoring device, and a monitoring device, comprising a housing which is arranged rotatably with a rim part of the vehicle wheel, an electronic circuit which is arranged in the housing and is coupled to a load detection device arranged in the housing and having strain gauges for detecting forces acting on the vehicle wheel. In order to create a monitoring device which is easy to install on different vehicle wheels and which can reliably determine the load forces occurring on the vehicle wheel, the housing has two fastening zones which are spaced apart from one another and which are connected to one another via at least one bending strut connected to both fastening zones as a component of the load detection device, at least one pair of strain gauges being arranged on the bending strut between the fastening zones for detecting the bending of the bending strut caused by load forces.
