Abstract
An integration element including a shaft and a housing, wherein the housing includes a passage for the shaft and the shaft includes connecting elements on the shaft ends which are accessible from outside the housing, these elements providing a rotationally-fixed connection to connecting shafts. The housing has at least one connection for fastening to a connection structure and the shaft together with the housing delimits a measuring equipment space for receiving measuring equipment. The housing is formed by at least two housing parts detachably connected to each other, said housing parts being designed to be separated around the full extent of their circumference surrounding the shaft to allow access to the measuring equipment space. The housing has bearing seats for shaft bearings and these shaft bearings support the shaft in a rotatable manner with respect to the housing.
