The invention relates to a boom (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) which can be anchored on one side thereof to an object, comprising a flat body (11) which has a spring-elastic material and is designed to withstand a
variable load weight (4) and is positioned in such a way in operation with a vertically oriented surface, the planar body has a height (v) and a horizontal extent (h) which are defined by the upper
edge region (6) and the lower
edge region (7) in the operating position. The invention relates to a suspension arm (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) for a load weight (4), said suspension arm (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) having a horizontal extent defined on the one hand by an anchoring side region (2) for anchoring the suspension arm (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) to an object and on the other hand by a projecting side region (8) opposite the anchoring side region, the suspension arm (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) further having a force
introduction device designed to support the load weight (4), characterized in that the suspension arm (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) has a horizontal extent. According to the invention, the planar body (11) of the
cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) forms a deformation opening (10) and a connection device for a deformation sensor for measuring a deformation of the
cantilever in the case of a
current load weight (4), wherein the deformation opening (10) is formed by a planar body (11), penetrates through the planar body and is completely surrounded by the planar body, wherein all edge regions of the deformation opening lie in the plane of the planar body (11) and the deformation opening has a horizontal extent (h) defined by the anchoring side region (2) and the projecting side region (8) and a vertical extent (v) defined by the upper
edge region and the lower edge region in such a way, the invention relates to a
cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) having a deformation opening (11), which is formed by a body (11) of the cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) in such a way that the deformation opening deforms in a predetermined manner in the case of a respective
current load weight (4), and the force
introduction device is further formed by the body (11) of the cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70). The anchor-side region (2) and the extension-side region (8) are arranged such that, in the operating position of the cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70), at least a part of the load weight (4) is introduced into the extension-side region (8), and wherein the connecting device is designed to operatively clamp the deformation sensor between the anchor-side region (2) and the extension-side region (8). The cantilever (1, 20, 25, 40, 50, 60, 70) is simple to construct, can be produced inexpensively and allows a
variable load weight (4) to be measured in a highly precise manner by means of a deformation sensor (35).
