Load Pin Load Cell – Precision Force Measurement for Heavy Duty Applications
Discover Load Pin Load Cells for accurate force and tension measurement in lifting and structural applications. Sensors and Gauges provides premium load pin sensors and complete integration solutions.
A Load Pin Load Cell is a specialized sensor designed to measure tension and compressive forces in heavy-duty applications. Widely used in lifting, rigging, and structural monitoring, load pin load cells provide accurate force measurement without interfering with the mechanical system. At Sensors and Gauges, we supply high-quality load pin load cells along with indicators, amplifiers, and full system integration — ensuring reliable and precise measurements for industrial operations.
What is a Load Pin Load Cell?
A Load Pin Load Cell is a cylindrical sensor that replaces a standard mechanical pin (such as a clevis or shaft pin) in a structure. Strain gauges inside the pin measure the force applied along the axis, converting it into an electrical signal.
Key Features:
Accurate measurement of tension and compression forces
Rugged, high-strength construction for heavy-duty use
Various sizes and capacities for different mechanical systems
IP-rated and suitable for outdoor or harsh environments
Compatible with digital indicators, PLCs, and DAQ systems
