Before selecting and buying a load pin, load cell or other force sensor, Strainsert recommends identifying and defining your force sensor application and operating environment. First, make sure you have answers to fundamental questions about…
How does internal strain gaging minimize force measurement errors in Bolts and Studs used for preload and clamping force measurement? Strainsert Force Sensing Bolts and Studs are designed and manufactured using our patented internal strain gaging…
Tension link load cells, also known as tension links, are high-performance sensors used to measure force, primarily in weighing and lifting applications. Tension link sensors convert a tensile force load into a measurable electrical signal….
To ensure consistent success, proper design and fabrication are controlled through Parts, Materials, and Processes (PMP). Strainsert documents and utilizes special PMP controls to ensure all unique requirements are met. Parts Each job includes a…
Strainsert is a leading designer/patent holder of a variety of custom force sensors, including load pins, load cells, load bolts and tension links to list a few examples. Over 90% of Strainsert’s sensor products are…
Identifying the best Strainsert load pin for your specific application is critically important. Strainsert provides many standard and custom load pins on their own and also as part of a full force measurement system. The…
As Strainsert continues to meet the significant demand for our force measurement products and services for research, testing, weighing and control applications, we also hear from customers about the obstacles and problems they are trying…
Strainsert force sensing fasteners, bolts and studs utilize a patented internal gaging method to indicate bolt tension due to preload with strain gage accuracy. Fasteners provide a means for accurate, independent inspection of an assembled…
The challenges inherent in reliably measuring force under water are considerable. Underwater or submersible load cells must be able to perform in a severe environment of high pressure, extreme temperatures, and more. Submersible load cells…
