Abstract
The invention relates to a vacuum valve comprising a sensor assembly with at least one force sensor which has a deformation-sensitive element. The sensor assembly is designed such that a measurement signal relating to a compression of the seal (TO) which lies between a first and a second seal surface, said compression being produced by the first and the second seal surface, is detected by means of the sensor assembly.
