Abstract
Provided are a seat belt retractor and a seat belt device with which it is possible to improve an occupant-restraining property and energy absorption characteristics. A seat belt retractorincluding a spoolthat winds up a webbing W for restraining an occupant, a shaftinserted through an axial center of the spool, and a locking baseconnected to the shaftand capable of switching between a rotating state and a non-rotating state, further includes an energy absorption devicecapable of changing an energy absorption amount according to a relative rotation speed between the spooland the shaft, and a load adjustment memberthat blocks or reduces load transmission when a load equal to or greater than a threshold is applied to the shaftor the spool. The spool, the shaft, the locking base, the energy absorption device, and the load adjustment memberare serially connected.
