Magtrol Load Measuring
Pins are temperature-compensated transducers used to measure load and force and provide overload
protection. The pins are mounted into machines in place
of normal shafts and fitted with strain gauges, allowing
them to produce a signal proportional to the measured
load.
Features
From 2.5 to 1250 kN (0.28 to 140 tons)
Admissible overload: 150% of the nominal load
Overload at rupture: 350% to 700% of nominal load
(according to the model)
Pin made of high resistance stainless steel.
Insensitive to external mechanical and chemical
effects (strain gauges inside the pin)
Ideal for use in hostile environments
Rugged and tight construction; maintenance-free
For new or refitted installations
ISO 9001 Certified
Additional features unique to each series include:
LB 230 Series
Certified according to OIML R60 D0.1 from 50 to 200 kN for class IIII scales
Integrated 2-wire (LE) or 4-wire (LU) signal amplifier for transmission over great distances
EMC execution for reliable trouble-free operation
Safety
The high safety level
of Magtrol Load Measuring Pins makes their use possible
in the following diversified application fields:
Cranes and lifting devices
Machine industry
Marine, tankers, offshore oil platforms
Nuclear industry
Aviation
Chemical industry
At the customer's request,
Magtrol can subject its load measuring pins to even more
demanding tests such as:
Authenticity of the steel used
Impact tests by the EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratory
for Material Testing and Research)
Ultrasonic test
Magnetoscopic test
Test under reference load
Special Load Measuring
Pins
Magtrol also
manufactures special load measuring pins according to
customer requirements. This shows our great flexibility
for applications in extreme environments. Additionally,
our computer calculation facilities allow us to respond
quickly to any demand for special load measuring pins.
