LOAD CELL

To provide a sealed, compact load cell for detecting tensile and compressive loads, which eliminates the influence of a screw of a load acting portion.SOLUTION: A load cell 1 provided herein has a connection part 2g and a strain-inducing part 2f arranged in series in an axial direction and is designed to detect a load in the axial direction AX by means of strain-sensing resistors 4 attached to the strain-inducing part 2f. The connection part 2g has a threaded insert 5 embedded in the axial direction in at least one end portion thereof. Each of the connection part 2g and the strain-inducing part 2f is provided with a pilot hole for tapping the threaded insert 5.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】荷重作用部におけるねじの影響を排除した引張圧縮荷重検出用の密閉小型のロードセルを提供する。【解決手段】接続部２ｇと起歪部２ｆとが軸方向に直列に配置され、起歪部２ｆに添着した感歪抵抗体４により軸方向ＡＸの荷重を検出するロードセル１であって、接続部２ｇの少なくとも一方の端部には、軸方向ＡＸにねじインサート５が埋設され、接続部２ｇ及び起歪部２ｆには、ねじインサート５のタップ用下穴が軸方向ＡＸに設けられている。【選択図】図２
