A connecting rod for an aeronautical actuator system, having one shaft transmitting forces applied in tension and/or compression along a longitudinal axis of the rod. When the connecting rod is in service, an elastically deformable element connected to the shaft is configured to react to the forces applied to the shaft, and displays elastic deformation when effected by these forces. The deformable element has a peripheral part rigidly connected to a member of the rod in which the shaft is slidably mounted. Measurement means associated with the deformable element determine the forces. The measurement means is partially housed in the deformable element. The deformable element includes a central part elongated along the longitudinal axis, which is rigidly connected to the shaft and in which the measurement means are at least partially housed. An intermediate part runs transversally to the central part and connects the central part and the peripheral part.
