German term or phrase: einem Drehmoment an der Kraftleitung
A check weigher for a meat slicing machine. Die Wiegezell ist gegenüber einer Überlastung oder einem Drehmoment an der Kraftleitung sehr empfindlich. I can't seem to get my head round this one.

load vs. power
Explanation:
Just by way of explanation, I was thinking initially of influences on the power supply to the device itself adversely affecting the accuracy of the weighing operation. It makes sense to me that a power surge or a kinked/twisted line could cause the weight to display incorrectly.

But Klaus may well be right that in this case it is the application of load to the cell that is meant. I guess that would mean that if you overload the cell, it won't weight the sliced meat properly, but I'm not sure then how the concept of torsion comes into play. More context would definitely help.

BTW not to drive a point in the ground, but Kraftleitung, whether incorrectly or not, is apparenty used quite often for power line:

Thanks Beth for all your efforts. I have actually just come across Kraftleitung in another part of the text and power line would definitely fit with this second example. It was a really strangely worded text throughout so it caused a great many problems.

another guess


Explanation:
I think what this means is that the weighing cell is very sensitive to an overload (surges) or torsion (from twisting or perhaps kinking) of the power supply line.

HTH!

neutral  Klaus Herrmann: If this is a German text, Kraftleitung is definitely not a power line. I'm not sure for Swiss or Austria, but I doubt it. This is about force, not electrical power.

  -> maybe you're right, but I did find ref. on a German web site: " 3-phasige Kraftleitung (Länge 5 m) fest angeschlossen" (to a pump I believe it was)

overload or torsion at the sensor element


Explanation:
The problem with Kraftleitung is that we don't have a clue about the shape of the load cell. Kraftleitung describes something that's used in the process of applying the force (i.e. the weight) to the load cell. Lacking any description, my only solution would be to rephrase the sentence:

The force transmission of the load cell is susceptible to damage by overload and torsion. (The 'sehr empfindlich' in combination with 'Überlast' implies damage).


And a comment to Beth's reply: Kraftleitung occasionally is used in German because a 3-phase power supply is referred to as "Kraftstrom", but I just can't see a load cell being supplied with power this way.

Pls. ignore the heading (overload or torsion at the sensor element). It\'s from my first shot at it, and I forgot to replace it by the correct suggestion.
