Abstract
In one aspect, a load cell includes an elastic body, first optical unit, second optical unit, detector, and computation unit. The first optical unit has a light source, a first diffraction grating on which light from the light source is incident, and a light-receiving unit. The first optical unit is fixed to a first end portion of the elastic body and arranged within a hollow portion of the elastic body. The second optical unit has a second diffraction grating on which diffracted light from the first diffraction grating is incident to generate interference light. The second optical unit is fixed to a second end portion of the elastic body and arranged within the hollow portion. The detector detects the interference light. The computation unit computes a relative displacement amount of the second diffraction grating relative to the first diffraction grating on the basis of a signal obtained by the detector.
