Force Sensing Tension Links

Force Sensing Tension Links

The Strainsert Tension Links, also called Tension Load Cells or Tension Link Load Cells, utilize the internal strain gage process perfected by Strainsert during the last sixty years and used so successfully in Strainsert bolts, load pins, and load cells. The sensing element consists of a strain gage bridge circuit internally installed in a small hole along the longitudinal axis. This unique arrangement provides a most effective means for the protection and sealing of the internal electronics while minimizing the adverse effects of extraneous torsional and bending loads.

Tension Links with Pivot Ends, TLLR/TLLF Series

The TLLR/TLLF Series Tension Link Load Cells with pivot ends are another unique force sensor developed by Strainsert. The Tension Links utilize the internal strain gage process perfected and used by Strainsert since 1960 in our tension load cells, load bolts, load pins and other load cells.

Tension Links for Anchor & Chain, STL Series

The STL Series Tension Link Load Cells are designed for easy integration and use with standard Crosby Shackle hardware, and are available in standard capacities ranging from 1,500 to 350,000 pounds. The load links are easily installed in the shackles for quick and accurate measurement of applied tension force.

Tension Links with Threaded Ends, TLN/TLS/TLNS Series

The Tension Links are designed and manufactured with a variety of end attachment configurations to fit many different types of hardware installations. They are available with male threads, female threads, or a combination of male/female threads. Capacities range from 1,000 to 400,000 pounds.
