Load Pins

  • A complete offering of both standard and custom load monitoring solutions.

  • Load Pins are transducers that convert an applied force into either an analog or digital electrical signal. This conversion is achieved by the physical deformation of resistive strain gauges bonded internally to the sensor.

  • Load Pins most frequently integrate into crane and winch systems and are essential components in applications that require precise measurements of heavy loads.

  • Custom Load Pin request available at: www.rugged-controls/load-pin-quote-form.com.
