Strainsert Load Sensing Actuator Clevis Pins, SPHC Series

Standard Force Sensing Clevis Pins/Bolts The Force Sensing Actuator Clevis Pin 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 and monitoring by replacing existing clevis pins in hydraulic cylinder/actuator hardware.

 
FEATURES
The Strain gages are sealed inside small axial holes within the load pin and are positioned at two locations at the hydraulic actuator 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 recommended.


Some Features Include:
· Easy Installation: By replacing pins in hydraulic cylinders with minimum alterations using keeper plates. · Durability: Due to self protecting nature of strain gage installation sealed inside small holes.
· Precison Load Sensing: Complete strain
gage bridge circuit bonded and sealed inside
small hole along longitudinal axis of pin, by exclusive Strainsert process.
· Accuracy: Strainsert force sensing actuator clevis pins have combined error due to repeatibility and non-linearity of less then 1% of rated load typically.
