Abstract
A force sensor for the measurement of tensile forces in a pulling means. The force sensor has a base body which has a first abutment at a first end for the fixing of an end of a first pulling means and a second abutment at a second end disposed diametrically opposite the first end for the fixing of an end of a second pulling means. An electromechanically operating force measurement sensor is arranged at least in the region of one of the abutments such that a tensile force is transmitted from the end of the first pulling means via the force measurement sensor to the first abutment and from there via the second abutment to the second pulling means. A replacement of the second pulling means is only possible when the base body of the sensor has been moved into a waiting position.
