Abstract
A force sensor, in particular for detecting the forces on a vehicle seat, includes a force measurement cell () that has a Hall element. The force measurement cell () includes at least one bending bar (), which from the exertion of force to be detected exeris an influence on the magnetic field in the region of a magnetic-field-sensitive sensor element () of the measurement cell (). The sensing is done with a Hall element (), held on the at least one bending bar (), which element, under the force exerted on the bending bar (), can be deflected in the field of a relatively stationary permanent magnet (), and a magnetic diagnosis field in the region of the Hall element () can be generated whose field lines are located in the plane of the sensor element without influencing the measurement field.
