In an arm for a construction machine formed as a box-shaped structural body by left and right side plates, an upper plate, a lower plate, and a rear plate, a left rear thick side plate constituting the left side plate, a right rear thick side plate constituting the right side plate, a rear thick upper plate constituting the upper plate, and a rear thick lower plate constituting the lower plate are formed by using a soft steel material having a large plate thickness. A left front thin side plate constituting the left side plate, a right front thin side plate constituting the right side plate, a front thin upper plate constituting the upper plate, and a front thin lower plate constituting the lower plate are formed by using a high tensile steel material having a small plate thickness. As a result, the weight of the entire arm can be reduced.

The invention provides a load sensor which is driven by a low electric power consumption, can measure at a high precision, and has a high reliability without being broken. The load sensor is structured such that a detection rod for detecting a strain is provided in an inner portion of a hole formed near a center of a pin via a shock relaxation material and a semiconductor strain sensor is provided in the detection rod, in a load sensor detecting a load applied to the pin from a strain generated in an inner portion of the pin.

A multi-axis load sensor is composed of at least one of a parallel plate structure connecting two members to each other by means of a plurality of flexible beams arranged in parallel to one another and a radial plate structure connecting the two members to each other by means of a plurality of flexible beams arranged radially relative to a given point and equipped with detection means for detecting deformations of the associated flexible beams. The deformations are of the bending deformation mode and are developed by a load applied to the associated flexible beams. At least one of the associated flexible beams is provided with another detection means for detecting deformations of a deformation mode different from the bending mode. The multi-axis load sensor is simple in structure and easily machined.
