The present invention relates to a complex elastic unit for maximizing space utilization and elastic energy storage with a limited space and a variable gravity compensation module with the complex elastic unit and a curved lever, more particularly to variable gravity compensation apparatus with a curved lever, characterized by comprising: a housing; an interlocking cam which is installed to the housing, being rotated by a load; a curved lever which is rotated interlocked with the rotation of the interlocking cam and which provides elasticity to rotate the interlocking cam toward an initial position; an adjustment unit which adjusts a position of a pivot which is a center of rotation of the curved lever, allowing moving the pivot according to strength of load; and an elastic unit which is equipped within the housing to provide elasticity to the curved lever, wherein a driving end which is adhered to the interlocking cam is formed on one end of the curved lever with respect to the pivot, a driven end which is adhered to an elastic follower equipped to the elastic unit is formed on the other end thereof, and the driven end is configured into a curved shape that a sectional side surface connecting the pivot to the elastic follower has a particular curvature.
