Safe. Precise. Trusted in Harsh Environments.

A Shear Pin Load Cell is a robust force sensor designed to measure load through shear stress on a machined pin. Commonly installed in cranes, winches, hoists, and anchor systems, these sensors ensure safe lifting operations, overload detection, and load monitoring.

At Sensors and Gauges, we supply ISO-certified shear pin load cells engineered for marine, offshore, industrial, and aerospace sectors — delivering dependable performance even in the toughest conditions.

What is a Shear Pin Load Cell?

A shear pin load cell works by replacing an existing structural pin (e.g., clevis pin, shaft, or hinge pin) and measuring strain when a load is applied. The sensor is integrated with strain gauges that convert force into an electrical signal.

This makes them:

• Highly Reliable – Direct force measurement at the load point.

• Durable – Designed to withstand shock, vibration, and harsh marine conditions.

• Customizable – Built to fit specific pin sizes and applications.

• Safety-Oriented – Ideal for overload monitoring in lifting equipment.

Applications of Shear Pin Load Cells

• Cranes & Hoists – Overload protection and safe lifting.

• Marine & Offshore – Winches, mooring systems, towing lines.

• Construction Machinery – Heavy load monitoring and safety compliance.

• Aerospace & Defense – Load monitoring in aircraft ground handling.

• Material Handling – Conveyor and rigging applications.
