ABSTRACT:
A device for dividing vector forces into their X- and/or Y- and Z-components comprising a main body having a flat upper surface inclined to the horizontal; a wedge having a bottom surface inclined to the horizontal engaging essentially friction-free the upper surface of the main body, and a flat horizontal upper surface; at least one first force measuring element acting in a direction of the wedge action and being provided in a fixed relationship to the main body; an upper element having a flat bottom side bearing essentially friction-free in horizontal directions on the horizontal upper surface of the wedge and receiving a vector force to be measured; and at least one second force measuring element each acting in the at least one of the X- and Y-direction, limiting any movement of the upper element and being arranged in fixed relationship to the main body.
