The internally gaged Clevis Pin (invented by Strainsert, U.S. Patent No. 3,695,096) is
designed to measure forces transmitted/supported through pin joints. The force sensing pins
allow direct, accurate, and repeatable measurements in pin joints from 1/4" diameter to
over 10" diameter in almost every type of pin joint. Strainsert offers Clevis Pin designs
which exist for common applications (see our load pin overview page)
or which can be easily integrated into the application.
In addition, Strainsert also designs and manufactures many custom pins tailored for
unique applications and installations. Strainsert designs combine over 40 years of design
experience with a fully automated manufacturing process to provide reliable, cost effective
and fully configured transducer systems. Furthermore, Strainsert can offer tremendous
design flexibility to accomodate both low / high measurement load for a given pin diameter,
custom loading geometries, different materials, high factors of safety, special finishes,
fatigue designs, high pressure applications or other special requirements.
The Strainsert approach to custom design begins with a one-on-one dialogue between our
designers and the customer to ensure the optimal design is achieved. Strainsert quickly and
efficiently develops a customer drawing which is provided to the customer for approval prior
to manufacturing. This approach provides the customer with added assurance that the clevis pin
is designed to specification.
The clevis pins or clevis bolts can be designed for extreme durability under even the most severe
conditions temperature variations or working environments. These products have a wide range
of applications, have a long operational life and are currently used everywhere from common force
measurement applications up to such cutting edge projects
as the Mars Exploration Rover Mission for NASA, the Space Shuttle launching pad and hydrostatic
or submersible vehicles deep under the ocean's surface. To inquire for additional information, please
