Claim Text:
1. A magnetic load sensor unit comprising: a flange member configured to be deflected when a load is applied to the flange member from an axially forward side; a support member supporting the flange member from an axially rearward side at a position radially offset from a position where the load is applied; a magnetic target which generates a magnetic flux; and a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic target; wherein one of the magnetic target and the magnetic sensor is fixed to the flange member and the other of the magnetic target and the magnetic sensor is fixed to the support member such that the magnetic target and the magnetic sensor move relative to each other due to deflection of the flange member when the load is applied to the flange member, whereby a magnitude of the load is detected based on the magnetic flux detected by the magnetic sensor, characterized in that the flange member is formed with a load acting surface to which the load is applied at a position offset axially rearwardly relative to an axially forward surface of a portion of the flange member supported by the support member.
