The force measuring apparatus measures forces acting on the upper, lower and/or transverse tool carrier. Each linear drive may be at least two linear drives engaging eccentrically at the upper or lower tool carrier, respectively. The parallel spaced linear drives act together on a force transferring element, and the force transferring element acts on a tool carrier via spaced piezoelectric sensors.
