A load sensor plate ( 100 ) is adapted for manufacture by stamping spaced apart openings ( 110 ) through a thin blank to define flexure beams ( 112 ) beside the openings ( 110 ); and forming the blank with spaced apart columnar walls ( 102 ), ( 106 ) joined by a web ( 104 ) having the openings ( 110 ) and the flexure beams ( 112 ) whereby, an applied load ( 116 ) exerted on one of the columnar walls ( 102 ) is distributed among the flexure beams ( 12 ), and another of the columnar walls ( 106 ) bears an opposing force ( 118 ) that resists the applied load ( 118 ).
