Description
Load pins are suitable for static and dynamic measuring tasks as a replacement for non-measuring pins. They are used to determine the tension and/or compression forces under harsh operating conditions.
Such force transducers are very often used in hoists and crane systems, e.g. in construction cranes or in harbour and offshore cranes. Appropriate technical and regional approvals are available as an option.
The load pins are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel 1.4542, whose properties are outstandingly suitable for the application areas.
Besides the standard active current and voltage outputs
(4 … 20 mA, 0 … 10 V) also digital outputs (CANopen®) are available. Redundant output signals are possible.
The load pins can be integrated into a certified WIKA overload protection with model ELMS1 (DIN EN ISO 13849-1with PL d/Cat. 3).
