Load cell and output adjustment method of load cell

An output adjustment method of a load cell comprising a bridge circuit configured to convert a change in resistance of a strain gauge, which changes in accordance with a load, into an electric signal and output the electric signal, the output adjustment method comprising:

• connecting a first chip resistor configured to adjust an initial balance of the bridge circuit, in a first path on one side of the bridge circuit;
• connecting a second chip resistor configured to adjust the initial balance of the bridge circuit, in a second path on another side of the bridge circuit;
• connecting a thermistor configured to compensate for a temperature characteristic of the bridge circuit and a first adjustment resistor configured to adjust a deviation of the initial balance in a state in which the thermistor is provided, the thermistor and the first adjustment resistor being connected in series with the first chip resistor, in parallel with each other in the first path;
• and
• connecting a second adjustment resistor configured to adjust the deviation of the initial balance caused by providing the first adjustment resistor in the first path, the second adjustment resistor being connected in series with the second chip resistor, in the second path.
