Integrated Accuracy, Strength, and Reliability

A load cell pin (also known as a shear pin load cell) is an innovative force measurement device designed to replace standard mechanical pins in machinery. It measures shear force directly within the pin, making it a highly accurate and space-efficient solution for industries where traditional load cells cannot be installed.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply load cell pins in Australia for cranes, hoists, offshore equipment, and industrial systems, delivering precision monitoring, safety assurance, and durability in the toughest environments.

What Makes a Load Cell Pin Different?

Unlike standard load cells, which are bolted externally, a load cell pin is installed directly into the machinery’s pin joints. This integration allows it to measure forces in real-time without altering equipment design.

Key Benefits of Load Cell Pins:

• Direct Measurement – Captures shear force at the pivot point.

• Space-Saving Design – Fits seamlessly into existing pin locations.

• High Strength – Built to withstand extreme loads and harsh conditions.

• Custom Engineering – Manufactured to match customer pin dimensions.

• Enhanced Safety – Ideal for overload prevention in cranes and hoists.

Applications of Load Cell Pins

Load cell pins are widely used across industries where accurate force measurement is required within rotating or pivoting connections:

• Cranes & Hoists – Monitoring lifting loads in real time.

• Winches & Pulleys – Preventing overload in marine and offshore equipment.

• Shackles & Hooks – Integrating load monitoring directly into rigging.

• Construction Equipment – Measuring forces in booms and arms.

• Mining & Offshore – Harsh environments where rugged design is essential.

• Defense & Aerospace – Compact, high-strength solutions for mission-critical equipment.
