Abstract: A weighing cell, in which the weight forces of the load are compensated by deformation or electromechanical forces, includes a load carrier which receives the load, a mechanical-electrical load-measuring cell, and an acceleration meter which experiences the same vertical accelerations as the weighing cell. The load cell and the acceleration meter are connected electrically with one another such that the measuring signal which is adulterated by the acceleration action is corrected correspondingly. The load cell has an output signal (A+a) comprising a weighing signal (A) superposed by a spurious signal (a) due to such acceleration. A subtractor receives the output signal (A+a). The output signal of the acceleration meter is balanced to a value (a').
