(18) Features of Strainsert Load Sensing Clevis Pins
Easy Installation: By replacing pins in Crosby (or Equivalent) wire rope socket, with minimum machining alterations (2-tapped holes), and hardware (2-bolts, keeper plate).
Precise Cable Load Sensing: Complete bridge circuit bonded and sealed inside small hole along longitudinal axis of Pin, calibrated in the direction of the applied load.
Rugged: Self protecting nature of strain gage installation sealed in small hole, and has proven to be immune to harsh environment.
Accuracy: Strainsert Load Sensing Clevis Pins have combined error due to repeatability and non-linearity less than 1% of rated load typically.
(29) For Crosby or Skookum Anchor & Chain Shackles
Features of Strainsert Load Sensing Clevis Pins
Easy Installation: RCP and SCP models replace standard Crosby or Skookum shackle bolts/pins respectively
Precise Load Sensing: Complete strain gage bridge circuit bonded and sealed inside small hole along longitudinal axis of Bolt, by exclusive Strainsert process.
Rugged: Due to self protecting nature of strain gage installation sealed inside small holes. Proven immune to harsh environment.
Accuracy: Strainsert Load Sensing Clevis Bolts have combined error due to repeatability and non-linearity of less than 1% of rated load typically.
(2) Many Strainsert Instrumented Clevis Pin designs are incorporated
into sheave and pulley systems. The user has the
option of either designing a sheave around our standard
CPA Clevis Pin series or having a custom pin manufactured
for an existing sheave design with a tailored measurement
capacity and geometry, allowing for simple installation and
optimized measurement capability.
The Instrumented Sheave Pins are often used to measure
line tension by monitoring the reaction load on the pin.
Using the equations provided in the Clevis Pins for Sheave Applications Downloads, the line tension can be
determined.
Dual bridge circuits, Built-in signal conditioning, Bi-axial force measurement, Deep sea pin systems and Intrinsically rated force sensing clevis pins are examples of optional features.
