METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MOTOR UNIT FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

An external force measurement unit 4 for measuring an external force fe applied to a spindle 10 includes a load cell 5 with a support ring 61, wherein a first flap 62 and a second flap 65 are arranged on the support ring 61, wherein the second flap 65 is arranged opposite to the first flap 62 on the support ring 61, wherein each flap is arranged in a radial direction towards the outside of the support ring 61, a first strain gauge 64, which is arranged on the first flap 62, and a second strain gauge 67, which is arranged on the second flap 65, an evaluation unit 14 for measuring the resistance of the first strain gauge 64 and the resistance of the second strain gauge 67, wherein the resistance of the first strain gauge 64 is measured separately from the resistance of the second strain gauge 67, a first bearing support 6 for taking up a first bearing 7 in a first bearing seat 68, wherein the first bearing 7 is adapted to take up a rotating spindle 10, wherein the evaluation unit 14 is configured to determine the external force fe based on the resistance of the first strain gauge 64 and the resistance of the second strain gauge 67.
