Abstract: In a method for monitoring and/or determining the condition of a force-measuring device with at least one housing that has an interior space and with at least one force-measuring cell installed in the interior space of the at least one housing, at least one parameter of the atmospheric climate of the interior space is measured with at least one sensor that is arranged in the interior space of the housing or with at least one sensor that is arranged at the housing, wherein said parameter is of a kind that has an influence on the operating lifetime of the force-measuring cell; and a sensor signal corresponding to the measured parameter of the atmospheric climate of the interior space is transmitted to a computing unit and/or to a data output device.

Abstract: Weighing module having a first mounting device which is in force-transmitting contact with a load that is to be determined, also having a second mounting device which is connectable to a supporting structure that supports the weighing module. A load cell is arranged between the mounting devices and cooperates with a load-transmitting device. The weighing module has a first and a second receiving cup, each of which has a concavity designed to receive the force-transmitting element, which receiving cups are arranged between the mounting devices. At least one concavity has an elliptical cross-section in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the direction of the load.

Abstract: Weighing module having a first mounting device which is in force-transmitting contact with a load that is to be determined, also has a second mounting device which is connectable to a supporting structure that supports the weighing module. A load cell is arranged between the mounting devices. At least one of the mounting devices is configured so that the mounting device constitutes a means for thermal insulation which thermally insulates the load cell against the load and/or against the supporting structure.
