Load Pin & Customize Load Cell

Load Pins can be manufactured in a wide range of capacities, typically from a few kN (kilonewtons) to several MN (meganewtons), depending on the application and pin size.

Load Pins usually provide a millivolt per volt (mV/V) signal from strain gauges or can be integrated with amplifiers to provide 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RS485, or digital outputs for PLC/SCADA integration.

Yes, Load Pins are designed for extreme conditions. They can be made from stainless steel, hermetically sealed, and rated with IP67/IP68 protection for resistance against water, dust, and corrosive environments such as offshore or marine industries.

Typical accuracy ranges from ±0.25% to ±1% of full scale, depending on the design, strain gauge arrangement, and calibration.

High-quality Load Pins and custom load cells include temperature-compensated strain gauges and electronic conditioning to ensure stable readings over wide temperature ranges (commonly –20°C to +70°C or higher).

Yes, Load Pins are usually designed to replace existing shear or pivot pins without modifying the machinery, making them ideal for retrofit load monitoring solutions.

The process involves understanding the customer’s application requirements (load range, geometry, environment, signal output) and then designing a tailored solution using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and precision machining to achieve reliable results.

Load Pins are installed in place of standard load-bearing pins. Electrical connections are routed through sealed connectors or cables. They are usually plug-and-play when connected to display units or control systems.

Initial calibration is done at the factory. Periodic recalibration depends on usage intensity, but typically once every 12–24 months is recommended for accuracy.

Load Pins are low-maintenance devices. Regular inspection of cables, connectors, and environmental seals is advised, especially in harsh applications like offshore or construction.

Yes, Load Pins can be integrated with control systems to provide real-time overload protection in lifting equipment, cranes, and hoists.

Yes, many manufacturers offer Load Pins with built-in wireless telemetry systems for remote monitoring without cables.

Absolutely. Customized load cells are often designed for robotic arms, testing machines, and automated machinery where precise force measurement is required.

Load Pins replace structural pins and directly measure the force acting on them, whereas standard load cells are standalone transducers that require mounting within a system. Load Pins are more compact and integrated into existing machinery without redesign.
