1. Method for the measurement of tension in a warp of a weaving machine, wherein the warp is led along a path over a deflection member and a rotationally symmetrical tensioning member which is pivotable over a pivotal range, is acted on by a spring, and is pivoted about an axis under the action of the warp, wherein a force acting on the tensioning member is measured by a force pickup connected in a force transmitting manner to the tensioning member, and measuring a force FM which has a substantially constant magnitude over the pivotal range in dependence on the path of the warp and on a geometrical arrangement of the deflection member, the tensioning member and the pivot axis.
