Strainsert offers a custom Load Pin configurator to allow engineers/designers to input nominal design parameters to determine application feasibility and generate conceptual load pin designs/drawings quickly and effectively. All finalized designs/drawings will be completed and formalized by Strainsert.

• Structural Tests
• Rocket Reaction Forces
• Mooring Lines
• Winch/Crane/Lifting Systems
• Aircraft Wing Joints
• Testing Machines
• Landing Gear Clevis Joints
• Sheave Axles
• Sprocket, Pulley Axles
• Hydraulic Actuator

Many Uses and Applications

• Measurement of Preload in Critical Assemblies
• Inspection of Preload after Assembly, Shipping, Prior to Use
• Provides Overload Detection Resulting from External Loading
• Used as Measurement Tool During Actual / Simulated Service Conditions (Shock, Vibration, Gasket / Joint Relaxation, etc.)
• Feedback to Control Systems
• Provides for Direct Analysis of Components Under Investigation.

Superior Technical Features

• Small installation holes allow for greater load carrying capability
• Measurement Accuracy (<1% F.S., Typically.)
• Gage Installations are Two Patterns in Series, 180° Apart in Small Holes (Minimizes Errors Due to Bending and Torque)
• Quarter-Bridge and Full-Bridge Gage Installations with Ratings Up to 300° F Years of Experience Gaging Aircraft Quality Bolts and Many Other Types of Common and State of the Art Materials (MP 35N, Inconel, Monel, A286, Titanium, etc.)
