Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring sensor held under pre-stress for measuring forces and/or torques. In the inventive embodiment, a sensor is integrated into an adapter sleeve, which is configured in a compact manner in such a way that it is equipped with devices for connection to an adapter part and devices for fixing to a measuring component. The sensor is subjected to the required pre-stress by connecting the adapter sleeve to the adapter part. An amplification module can also be mounted in the adapter sleeve.
