Abstract
In a small-sized, high precision load cell, an annular fixed section is arranged around a load application section, and the load application section and the fixed section are connected by a plurality of arms. The arms connected to the fixed section are not radial or straight, but are bent. Thus, a direction of extension n of a distortion vulnerable section at which a hole is formed is approximately perpendicular to a straight line m which connects the load application section and the distortion vulnerable section. Therefore, it is possible to prevent tension, which arises when a load is applied to the load application section, from being conveyed to the distortion vulnerable section and to detect only the distortion with a gauge.
