Load Pin Load Cell – Reliable Force Measurement for Lifting & Safety Systems

Precision Monitoring for Critical Applications

A load pin load cell is a specialized force sensor designed to replace a standard pin in machinery, measuring the load or force directly through shear strain. These sensors are widely used in lifting equipment, cranes, winches, offshore platforms, and marine applications, where safety, durability, and real-time force monitoring are essential.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply customizable load pin load cells built for tough industrial conditions, backed by ISO calibration, expert support, and fast service across Australia.

What is a Load Pin Load Cell?

Unlike traditional load cells that sit beneath or around a structure, a load pin load cell is installed directly in place of a shaft, clevis, or pivot pin, allowing it to measure force without redesigning the system.

They are especially valuable in:

• Cranes and hoists

• Marine winches and towing equipment

• Offshore oil and gas rigs

• Construction machinery

• Industrial lifting and safety systems
