Standard Force Sensing Clevis Pins/Bolts, CPA/CBA Series
The Force Sensing Clevis Pin or Clevis Bolt, otherwise known as load pins, are unique strain
gage transducers utilizing the internal strain gage transducer
process developed by Strainsert and used also in their Flat Load
CellsŪ and Tension Links. These clevis pins and clevis bolts
offer precision force measurement by replacing existing shear
pins, clevis bolts, clevis pins, shear axles and many other
types of pinned joints for the aerospace, automotive, marine and
military industries. |

The Strain gages are sealed inside small axial holes within the load pin
and are positioned at two locations at the Clevis to Clevis Eye interfaces.
In order to sense only those strains which are induced by the shear forces at
these two sections, the strain gages are positioned and oriented with
great precision, at a neutral plane relative to one specific direction
of pin loading.
The four strain gages (two at each location) are electrically
connected to form a full bridge, the signal from each strain gage being
additive so that the bridge output is proportional to the sum of the loads
transmitted by the shear planes of the pin. The circuit typically includes
temperature compensating, signal trim (optional) and balance resistors
terminating in suitable connector socket or integral cable, and potted
with a sealing compound inside the gage hole for enhanced environmental protection.
Standard models include detailed calibration data up to 500,000 lbs.
Higher capacity calibration data is available at an additional charge. In-place
calibration check is recommended.

These standard clevis pins are typically used in new applications
where the designer can develop the specific load pin joint around the standard
clevis pin dimensions, to optimize force measurement performance. In addition,
for existing load pin joints, the standard clevis pin may fit or can be
incorporated through the use of bushings or modifying the clevis assembly. For
