1. A load cell for detecting a supporting force transmitted by a load-bearing support element, the load cell forming a measuring portion of the support element and comprising:

  • a plurality of thin-film resistors, arranged on one end face of a flat member of the measuring portion, for indicating a reaction proportional to strain, wherein the reaction is proportional to transverse forces of which cancel each other, andwherein the measuring portion deforms under the supporting force and the transverse forces in a direction deviating from the supporting force.
