Custom Load Pin Design

Custom Load Pin Design

Strainsert designs and manufactures many custom load pins tailored for unique applications and installations.

Please utilize our custom load pin configurator to input nominal design parameters, determine application feasibility and generate conceptual load pin designs/drawings quickly.

Strainsert designs combine over 60 years of design experience with full cycle on-site manufacturing to provide reliable, cost effective and fully configured transducer systems. Furthermore, Strainsert can offer tremendous design flexibility for both low / high measurement load for a given pin diameter, custom loading geometries, different materials, high factors of safety, special finishes, fatigue designs, high pressure applications or other special requirements.

The Strainsert approach to custom design begins with a conversation with a Strainsert engineer to ensure the optimal design is achieved. Strainsert quickly and efficiently develops a customer drawing which is provided to the customer for approval prior to manufacturing. This approach provides the customer with added assurance that the clevis pin is designed to specification.

The load pins, bolts or other load cells can be designed for extreme durability under even the most severe conditions temperature variations or working environments. These products have a wide range of applications, have a long operational life and are currently used everywhere from common force measurement applications up to such cutting-edge projects as the Mars Exploration Rover Mission for NASA, the Space Shuttle launching pad and hydrostatic or submersible vehicles deep under the ocean’s surface.

To inquire for additional information, please use our custom load pin questionnaire to begin the process.

Strainsert also offers many standard load pin designs which exist for common applications (see our load pin overview page) or which can be easily integrated into the application.
