Abstract
An arrangement for measuring a force and/or a torque using the inverse-magnetostrictive effect as well a method for a measurement of a force and/or a torque using the inverse-magnetostrictive effect are provided. The force or the torque acts on a machine element () that has at least one magnetization area () for a magnetization and thus forms a primary sensor for the measurement using the inverse-magnetostrictive effect. The arrangement includes at least two spaced apart magnetic field sensors () for measuring a magnetic field () caused by the magnetization and also by the force or by the torque, with each of these sensors forming a secondary sensor for the measurement using the inverse-magnetostrictive effect. The arrangement further includes a measurement signal processing unit that is constructed for the signal processing of the measurement signals of the individual magnetic field sensors ().
