Load measuring pins are robust force sensors and connecting elements that are used simultaneously for the precise measurement of forces and loads. They replace a conventional pin and enable force measurement directly at the point of force transmission. Due to their compact design, they can be integrated into machines and systems in a space-saving manner.
Measurement is carried out via integrated strain gauges (DMS), which detect the occurring load and convert it into an electrical measurement signal. Depending on the version, transverse forces, shear forces, or other mechanical loads can be reliably measured and monitored.
Load measuring pins, also referred to as load pins, measuring pins, or shackle load cells, are used in, among other things, crane systems, hoists, elevator systems, cable cars, hydraulic systems, and mechanical engineering. They are particularly suitable for applications where continuous force monitoring is required directly within the existing mechanical structure.
Depending on the application, various designs, measuring ranges, accuracies, and versions are available. At Elektronikwerk, you will find suitable load measuring pins for industrial force measurement and individual machine and system solutions.
