Abstract
A robot includes a robot arm, a balancer, and a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The balancer is pressurized in advance by a predetermined amount of pressure and contracted to a dimension smaller than a predetermined mounting dimension of the robot arm. The first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are disposed on the robot arm to respectively accept a first end and a second end of the balancer so that the first end and the second end of the balancer are mounted on the robot arm. At least one mounting portion among the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion accepts the corresponding end, among the first end and the second end, of the balancer in a direction approximately parallel to a direction in which the balancer is expanded and contracted.
