Abstract: The invention relates to a housingless load cell whose resistance and measuring accuracy can be improved with respect to environmental influences such that at least the predominant part of the surface (12) and/or the surface (14) has a transversal path, such that water hitting the body of the load cell (1) can flow off when the load cell is in a built-in state. The angle ?1 between the transversally extending part of the surface (12) and the perpendicular peripheral surface of the body (3) and/or the angle ?2 between the transversally extending part of the surface (14) and the peripheral surface of the leg (4) is respectively greater than 90° and is, more particularly between 93°- 120°. A housingless load cell comprising a compensation electronics system is provided in one of the transversal holes (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to a non-encased weighing cell which with a view to resistance to environmental influences and high measuring accuracy has been improved to the effect that at least the predominant part of the surface (12) and/or of the surface (14) is inclined such that in the installed state, as intended, of the weighing cell any water hitting the weighing-cell body (1) can flow away, wherein the angle ?1 between the inclined part of the surface (12) and the perpendicular circumferential surface of the trunk (3) and/or the angle ?2 between the inclined part of the surface (14) and the circumferential surface of the foot (4) is larger than 90°, and in particular is between 93° and 120°. Furthermore, a non-encased weighing cell is stated in which the balancing electronics are provided in one of the transverse holes (7).
