A magnetic load sensor (1) is provided which is high in axial rigidity. The load sensor (1) includes a pair of parallel plate (2 and 3) coupled together by coupling pieces (4). The coupling pieces (4) are inclined relative to the axial direction such that when an axial load is applied to the parallel plates (2 and 3), the parallel plates (2 and 3) are displaced relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, due to deflection of the coupling pieces (4). A magnetic target (5) is mounted to the parallel plate (2), and a magnetic sensor element (6) is mounted to the parallel plate (3) such that when the parallel plates (2 and 3) are displaced relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the magnetic target (5) and the magnetic sensor element (6) are displaced relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction. |
