Abstract

A load estimation device includes: an air spring having a diaphragm that expands and contracts due to supply and exhaust of air, and configured to support a support body in a liftable manner; an auxiliary support portion configured to support the support body separately from the air spring; a displacement sensor configured to measure a length of the air spring; a pressure sensor configured to measure an internal pressure of the air spring; a temperature sensor disposed together with the air spring, and configured to measure a temperature of the air spring; and a calculation unit configured to calculate a spring load supported by the air spring based on measured results of the displacement sensor, the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor.
