Load monitoring systems

Load cells are strain gauge based transducers which are used to measure load, overload, or tension conditions. Load pins are a version of load cell that are typically installed into machines in the place of solid shafts, whereas load cells act as a direct component in an assembly. Load pins work on the double shear stress method.

Load pins are versatile pieces of equipment and are used in a large variety of applications, such as: cranes, hoisting gear, winches, etc. Rope, chain, and brake anchors, bearing blocks, pivots and shackles, elevators and floor conveyors as well as in applications for the agricultural, aviation, chemical and R&D industries.

This is a simple transducer that clamps onto the rope at the dead end of a crane system. Mainly used for overload and slack rope detection when coupled with an amplifier and it is recommend that the device is used for overload and slack rope detection only.

This series of meters accepts industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to be made, such as weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available for different sensor types.

The main function of this series is to give a numeric readout of the variable being monitored. Most models include an excitation power output, to power the sensor directly.

Various optional output modules are also available to give alarm relay outputs, analogue output or digital communications, or any combination of these options.

Meters are programmed using front panel push-buttons. The buttons may be locked with a rear switch.

Meters have two power supply options : 100-240 VAC or 11-30VDC
