Load Pin Optional Features

View Full Specs/CAD

Strainsert offers a diverse range of optional features specifically for our load pins and our other load cells to fully optimize the force measurement solution.

Digital Strain Gage Module (DCell)

Digital Strain Gage Modules (DCell) are compact, high-performance strain gage digital signal conditioner modules. They are compatible with all our load cells and load pins and aimed at applications which require high measurement accuracy, resolution, and stability.

Analog 4 to 20 mA Strain Gage Module

The Strainsert 2-wire Loop Powered 4 to 20 mA Strain Gage Modules are specially designed, compact, high-performance strain gage analog signal conditioner modules. They are compatible with all our load cells and load pins and aimed at 350 Ohm sensor applications which require high measurement accuracy, resolution, and stability.

Bi-Axial Load Pins

Bi-Axial Load Pins are designed for load pin applications that measure a radially applied force (Pr) where the load direction is unknown and/or changing in direction. This is facilitated by the installation of 2 perpendicular strain gage bridges (Px and Py), instrumentation, and geometric calculations.

Load Pins for Sheave Applications

Load pins are designed into sheave applications for measuring line tension. Sheaves are designed with either a variable or constant wrap angle. For the variable wrap angle case, two strain gage bridges are installed perpendicularly (Px and Py). For the constant wrap angle case, one strain gage bridge is installed along the primary (sensing) axis of force (P).

Dual Bridge Load Pins

Dual Bridge load pins provide two independent strain gage circuits. These load pins may use both bridges for simultaneous control and measurement or use a single bridge for measurement with the other bridge reserved as a spare.

Submersible Load Cell System

The Strainsert submersible high pressure load cell pin provides the ability to measure force at clevis joints under high pressure conditions. Complete systems are available, and include the instrumented load cell, cabling, and a digital instrument.
