Abstract
Cost is reduced by simplifying the wiring while reducing power consumption. A multi-axis sensor unit () for measuring any one or more of multi-axis force, moment, acceleration and angular acceleration applied externally, comprising eight strain gauges (R-R) arranged on one plane, and one bridge circuit () formed by interlinking the strain gauges (R-R). As compared with a conventional multi-axis sensor unit, power consumption is reduced by decreasing the number of bridge circuits () and the strain gauges (R-R), and production cost is lowered by simplifying the wiring.
