Load Bolts and Studs
Load Bolts and Studs are another unique strain gage load cell developed by Strainsert. They utilize the internal strain gage process perfected and used by Strainsert since 1960 along with our other load cells, load pins and tension link load cells. The Load Bolts offer precision force measurement in many configurations including; hex head, 12 point, or many other types of custom/unique load bolts designs used in Aerospace, Automotive, and Military research, testing, and control applications.
