  • STRAIN SENSOR AND LOAD DETECTOR USING SAME
    Publication number: 20170082508
    Abstract: A strain sensor includes a cylindrical strain body extending in an axial direction, a first fixed part, a second fixed part, and a strain detection element. The first fixed part is connected to the strain body at a first connection part and extends from an opening of a first end of the strain body in the axial direction. The second fixed part is connected to the strain body at a second connection part and extends from an opening of a second end of the strain body in a direction opposite to the first fixed part with a gap interposed between the strain body and the second fixed part. The strain detection element is disposed such that a center of the strain detection element is closer to the second fixed part than a center of the gap in the axial direction.
