Abstract

A measuring device serves for acquiring measurement values for measuring a tension in a conveying system. The measuring device is designed to guide a conveying member from a first section of the measuring device to a second section of the measuring device, to effect a deflection of the conveying member with regard to a straight-lined connection between the first and the second section and to detect measurement values corresponding to a reaction force according to this deflection. The measuring device includes surfaces for guiding rollers of the conveying member. One of these surfaces is a deflecting surface for deflecting the conveying member. The deflecting surface is formed on a deflecting element of a measuring element, and the reaction force is a force which acts upon the measuring element.
