Technical Notes

Review this datasheet on the important role of spacers to prevent the loosening of hold down bolts in Universal and Fatigue Rated Load Cells.

Use this Load Pin Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on various measurements, including bridge resistance, zero load and insulation resistance, along with possible causes and solutions.

The Load Cell technical note explains the Strainsert load cell’s mechanical properties and special features.

The Strainsert Wireless Load Pin is a high-performance wireless telemetry solution where wired installation may be difficult, cost prohibitive, or undesirable.

The T24 Wireless Load Cell System product range provides high-performance wireless telemetry solutions aimed at Strainsert sensor applications where wired installation may be difficult, cost prohibitive, or undesirable.

Dual Bridge Load Pins provide two independent strain gage circuits. Dual Bridge transducers may use both bridges for simultaneous control and measurement or use a single bridge for measurement with the other bridge reserved as a spare.

Load Pins for sheave applications are designed to measure the sheave load transferred to the load pin acting as the sheave axle. Many times the sheave load is equated to line tension.

Bi-Axial Load Pins are designed for applications that measure a radially applied force (Pr) where the load direction is unknown and/or changing in direction.

The Strainsert 2-wire Loop Powered 4 to 20 mA Strain Gage Modules are specially designed, compact, high-performance strain gage analog signal conditioner modules.
