Strain gauged load pins can easily replace an existing clevis, pivot pin or solid shafts in machinery or equipment to measure the load at that point.
Key features:
• Custom manufactured to replace existing pins, normally without changes to the existing mechanical structure
• Robust construction in high strength stainless steel, with optional material certificate to EN 10204 3.1B
• Choice of locking/retaining options to suit your application
• Fast delivery with CAD drawings supplied for approval prior to manufacturing
• Externally gauged for IP66 or internally gauged for IP68 protection
• Operating temperature from -20˚C to +90˚C
• High temperature option for use up to 180˚C
• Optional integrated 4-20mA amplifier for analogue outputs
• Single or dual (redundant) output options available
• ATEX option
• SIL 2 / SIL 3 safety rating options
Typical applications:
• Overload protection devices
• Load monitoring and safety systems
• Cranes, hoists and other lifting equipment
• Pivots and load shackles
• Load limiting systems, e.g. in conveyors
• On-board weighing in trucks, trailers and mobile machinery
• Marine applications, e.g. mooring lines and winches
• High temperature weighing and load monitoring systems
• Load monitoring and overload protection in hazardous areas (ATEX)
