ABSTRACT:
A measuring wheel for the detection of vertical forces on the wheel when in operation, in which the wheel rim is provided with a plurality of recesses arranged in a circumferential direction adjacent to one another, the recesses being positioned so that webs are formed therebetween which extend transversely through the wheel rim from one side to the other. Detecting elements in the form of wire strain gauges are positioned within the recesses on the webs; these detecting elements are spaced from each other to detect the vertical forces transmitted between the wheel and the rail in the plane of the detecting elements. Additionally, the measuring wheel can be formed with the profile of a rail wheel or a wheel track, and when the measuring wheel has the profile of a wheel track, a separate wheel is used having the profile of a rail wheel.
