Abstract
A magnetic load sensor unit is provided which can detect a load with a minute movement of its part, and which is durable and less likely to be influenced by temperature. The sensor unit includes a flange member () deflectable when an axial load is applied, a support member () supporting the flange member (), a magnetic target () which generates a magnetic field, and a magnetic sensor () for detecting the magnetic field generated by the magnetic target (). The magnetic target () and the magnetic sensor () are fixed to the flange member () and the support member (), respectively, such that when the flange member () is deflected, the magnetic target () and the magnetic sensor () move relative to each other, whereby magnitude of the load can be detected based on the magnetic field detected by the magnetic sensor ().
