Abstract
A multi-axis load sensor is composed of at least one of a parallel plate structure connecting two members to each other by means of a plurality of flexible beams arranged in parallel to one another and a radial plate structure connecting the two members to each other by means of a plurality of flexible beams arranged radially relative to a given point and equipped with detection means for detecting deformations of the associated flexible beams. The deformations are of the bending deformation mode and are developed by a load applied to the associated flexible beams. At least one of the associated flexible beams is provided with another detection means for detecting deformations of a deformation mode different from the bending mode. The multi-axis load sensor is simple in structure and easily machined.
