Load Pins

The clevis or load pin is a unique strain gage force sensor developed by Strainsert. It utilizes the internal strain gage process perfected by Strainsert and used so successfully in our other load cells, including tension load cells and force sensing bolts and studs. The force sensing load pin offers percision force measurement by simply replacing existing shear pins, clevis pins, shear axles or many other type of pinned joints used by the Aerospace, Automotive, Military and Marine industries.
