Abstract
The invention relates to a housingless load cell whose resistance and measuring accuracy can be improved with respect to environmental influences such that at least the predominant part of the surface () and/or the surface () has a transversal path, such that water hitting the body of the load cell () can flow off when the load cell is in a built-in state. The angle αbetween the transversally extending part of the surface () and the perpendicular peripheral surface of the body () and/or the angle βbetween the transversally extending part of the surface () and the peripheral surface of the leg () is respectively greater than 90° and is, more particularly between 93°- 120°. A housingless load cell comprising a compensation electronics system is provided in one of the transversal holes (). Finally, a load cell is further developed such that the peripheral surface of the leg () comprises at least one essentially perpendicular groove () forming a rotational lock piston with a protruding element on the lower plate.
