A load cell () has a deformable body with upper and lower contact surfaces (), through which a force is introduced. Support points () of the contact surfaces define a line of action () of the force. At least one column-shaped portion () of the deformable body has a central longitudinal axis () and a circumferential surface whose generating line runs parallel to the central longitudinal axis (). A first determining means () installed on the column-shaped portion converts a mechanical deformation into an electronic signal, and a second determining means () installed on the column-shaped portion converts a deviation of the central longitudinal axis () from the line of action () into a representative signal. Each determining means has at least one strain gauge.
