Load Pin Vs Load Cell

They fulfil the function of a normal clevis pin and simultaneously measure the resulting tensile and compressive forces.

Load pin vs load cell. We have already manufactured a load pin with a diameter ranging from 360 to 480 mm. This option is a real time saver. These force transducers are designed to meet your specifications. When force is exerted on the load cell the structure and resistance of the strain gauges changes and is measured.

The lcm range of load pins are designed for the measurement of tensile and compressive forces across a wide range of applications including crane lifting industrial marine offshore and civil engineering. There are several types of strain gauge load cells. From the resulting data can be easily determined using the equation above. Common types of load cells.

These load pins are designed as bearing pins. Ad9 9 pin d series connector attached to the end of a load cell or torque sensor cable with a teds transducer electronic data sheet eeprom. In a load cell the resistors are replaced with strain gauges and arranged in alternating tension and compression formation. In terms of dimensions we produce load pins of minimal diameter 7mm and in fact no limitation in terms of maximum diameter.

One of the most common load pin applications is to replace either the dead end of the wire rope or the equalizer sheave pin with a load pin load cell which is then paired with our ipe50 load cell controller. Our knowledge gained over the years enables us to manufacture load pins for nearly any application. Load cell central s load pin load cells are made exclusively out of stainless steel and are available with hermetic connectors making them perfect for any environment. Used with a smart plug play ieee 1451 4 compliant instrument shown on right the load cell and instrument will self calibrate.

Machined from high tensile stainless steel our load pins are suitable for use in exposed situations including prolonged. The load sensing clevis pin or bolt is a unique strain gage transducer developed by strainsert. It utilizes the internal strain gage process perfected by strainsert during the last forty years and used so successfully in strainsert bolts and flat load cells. Our load pins are available with a wide variety of options from submersible to custom outputs like 4 20ma 0 5vdc 0 10vdc 10vdc rs232 rs485 usb and more.

Load cell central has been building load pin load cells since 1985. The load pins are designed for high to very high loads. These pins are often used as a replacement for pivot pins or clevis pins as they offer a number of advantages that other load sensors do not. Product description lb series load measuring pins can be used alone or as part of a complete measurement system.

Load pins are great for so many applications because they are able to withstand a lot of hazardous elements and can even operate in some of the most difficult environments including offshore and subsea environments.
