PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a force damping mechanism capable of achieving a large damping ratio in a limited space. SOLUTION: The force damping mechanism to be used for a force measuring device comprises an integrally formed (monolithic) material block 1 and provided with a fixed supporting part 8, a plurality of levers 9, 15, and 17, and connecting elements 11, 14, and 16 to connect the levers. The fulcrum 10a of at least one lever 17 is movable with respect to the fixed supporting part 8. By supporting the movable fulcrum 10a, for example, by the preceding lever 9, the movable fulcrum 10a may be moved together with the preceding lever 9. By such an idea as to make a fulcrum movable, it is possible to utilize space more efficiently by the constitution of the mechanism.
