Load pin 5117

• Rugged design with zinc-plated, hardened alloy steel • Ratio metric voltage output converter embedded APPLICATIONS • Agriculture Industry • Force measurement devices The Model 5117 load pin is designed to provide force measurement on an applied load across it. It uses VPG’s own internally manufactured state-of-the-art foil-based strain gages, bonded onto a robust zinc-plated, hardened alloy steel body, making it an ideal sensor for any harsh environment application. The Model 5117 load pin is typically mounted on the top arm of a 3-position hitch. Its rugged design provides excellent long term stability and reliable operation, even under severe conditions. This compact, 25 mm diameter load pin offers high repeatability and performance. This load pin may be used in lieu of hydraulic pressure or draft pin sensors. The Model 5117 load pin is an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications, such as those found in tractor hitch systems, plowing vehicles, cranes or tensioning systems that employ rope, chain or brake anchors.
