Custom Load Pin
Load Pins typically replace the clevis or sheave pin in a lifting or supporting device. They are ideal when head room is limited. As a safe load indicator, our Custom Load pins are professionally engineered and stamped based on your exact technical requirements. Support local manufacture with Massload’s Custom Load Pins, made with the highest quality materials and fully manufactured and calibrated in-house through our VCAP certified Quality Management System. Options include cabled and wireless, mV/V, 4-20mA, 0-10V, 0-5V, +/- 10V. Common applications include clevis pins for mine workstage galloways, hoist rope attachments, crane modernizations, material handling and paper mills.
Highlights
- Shear load pins are very versatile and used in many tension load applications
- Load pins can replace clevis pins
- Load pins minimize or eliminate crane head space
- Outputs include mV/V, 4-20mA, 0-10V, wireless
- Load pin accuracy is <1% typical; 0.1% to 0.2% may be achieved with multi-point calibration
- Load pins are susceptible to side loads so pin loading must be in one direction only
- Load pins are custom engineered and manufactured to fit the load and support arrangement
Load pins are sometimes referred to as force sensing clevis pins, lifting pins, weight pins, force pins, or shear pins but they are all the same in that they are all strain gauge transducers that measure weight. Our load pins are custom designed to our customer’s requirements. Load pins will typically replace the sheave pin of a lifting device. Pin loading must be in one direction only or side loading will occur and reduce pin load accuracy. To this end, keeper plates are often employed to keep the force pin aligned properly.
At Massload, we engineer load pins to meet the unique specifications of each customer, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
Specifically designed to replace the sheave pin in lifting devices, our load pins play a pivotal role in maintaining accurate weight measurement.
These versatile shear load pins find application in various tension load scenarios and can seamlessly replace clevis pins.
