Load pin LB Series

Product Description LB Series Load Measuring Pins can be used alone or as part of a complete measurement system. Magtrol offers a wide range of Load-Force-Weight Transducers in various executions and accuracy classes and our Load Monitoring Units (LMUs) constitute an ideal safe measurement system which continuously checks for overloads and short circuits. MAGTROL Load Measuring Pins are 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. Manufactured in Switzerland, Magtrol’s LB 2XX Series Load Pins are rugged with high resistance stainless steel and tight construction, designed specifically for use in harsh industrial environments. Available in several standard ranges from 2.5 kN to 1250 kN, these highly ergonomic pins can be used for either new or refitted installations and are adaptable to various conditions. Design The Magtrol Load Pin has 2 circular grooves and an axial bore. Inside the central bore, adjacent to the external grooves, the strain gauges are mounted in a full-bridge configuration (double full-bridge for LB 23X models). The positioning and orientation of the strain gauges have been optimized by means of the finite element method (FEM). Any transverse or axial forces, even when acting on any part of the pin, have practically no influence on the measurement signal.
