The Strainsert custom Load Pin configurator is a custom tool, composed of software, CAD modeling and embedded Strainsert proprietary data and logic, designed to accelerate the early stages of load pin design by allowing our customer’s technical staff, including engineers and designers, to quickly evaluate feasibility and generate preliminary concepts based on nominal application parameters.

By entering key design inputs, users can rapidly produce conceptual load pin designs and drawings, eliminating the need for time-intensive manual calculations or iterative back-and-forth during initial design exploration.

Key Benefits to Engineers

Faster design validation: Quickly determine whether a load pin solution is viable within your application constraints

Reduced design cycle time: Instantly generate conceptual drawings to support internal reviews and project planning. Download or email concept drawings easily from within the configurator tool.

Improved decision-making: Evaluate multiple configurations early without committing engineering resources to full design efforts

Seamless transition to production: All conceptual designs are reviewed, finalized, and formalized by Strainsert’s engineering team

Streamlined Workflow

The configurator provides a simple, structured process:

• Select from six standard load pin configurations
• Input key design parameters
• Generate and review conceptual results
• Download preliminary drawings for evaluation
• Submit the preferred load pin design to Strainsert

Once the pin layout is submitted, our customers can then complete and submit the Strainsert custom Load Pin questionnaire to provide clearance limitations, environmental, performance, and quality requirements thus reducing misunderstandings and redesigns.

Combine Load Pin Configurator and Questionnaire

The combined use of the Load Pin configurator and the Load Pin questionnaire is a proven practice that ensures all specified design and application requirements are documented, evaluated and addressed during the sensor design process.

This process produces a sensor designed and manufactured for optimal performance in a specific environment. Additionally, this process reduces overall lead time and costs as Strainsert and our customers typically work together from the beginning of the project. This close coordination improves communication, understanding of the requirements and minimizes costly re-design iterations.

For applications that fall outside typical design ranges shown by the configurator, have complex or highly specialized requirements or for other technical support, please contact Strainsert Engineering at 610-825-3310 or engineering@strainsert.com for assistance.
