Load pins are strain gauge-based transducers that are used to measure load, overload, or tension in lifting equipment/machinery such as cranes, hoists, winches, shackles and test rigs.
PCM’s load pins are internally strain gauged wherever possible to provide maximum protection to electronics in harsh environments. Additional temperature compensation is included to improve output stability.
All load pins are made to order, so our engineers will review your enquiry and confirm if the load pin criteria is mechanically achievable and safe. We will then submit a quotation complete with a competitive lead time. When a purchase order has been received, an outline drawing and specification will be submitted to the customer for approval, prior to manufacture.
There are many options available, such as grease ways, multiple keep plates, dual bridges and built in amplifiers, to name just a few.
