Abstract
A load detection mechanism for detecting a load of an object includes a first member connected to a fixed structure; a second member for suspending an object; a pin (CP1, CP2) configured to cause the second member to be suspended from the first member by continuously penetrating the first member and the second member; a plurality of strain gauges (SG1 to SG8) attached to the pin; and a circuit substrate disposed above the second member. A connection circuit (CC) forming a bridge circuit by connecting the plurality of strain gauges and an amplification circuit (AC) configured to amplify output from the bridge circuit are formed on the circuit substrate.
