Abstract
In a measuring device for the measurement of forces in a vehicle undercarriage, more particularly of the brake torque on a vehicle undercarriage, e.g. an aircraft landing gear, a sensor is introduced into a hollow connecting element that is transversally loaded by said forces, which sensor produces a measuring signal in function of a deformation of said connecting element. Distance measuring elements which detect the distance of the inner wall of said connecting element from said sensor are used as measuring elements.
