The Strainsert Wireless Load Pin is a high-performance wireless telemetry solution where wired installation may be difficult, cost prohibitive, or undesirable. The system provides long battery life along with high measurement accuracy, resolution, and stability.
Software tools are included for quick and convenient interfacing with device configuration, calibration, datalogging, and recording. Contact Strainsert Engineering for system design assistance.
Design options may include standard and/or custom components, systems integration, and software development.

Digital Strain Gage Modules (DCell) are compact, high performance strain gage digital signal conditioner modules. They are aimed at applications which require high measurement accuracy, resolution, and stability. The internal signal conditioner reduces interference in noisy environments and allows for longer cable runs. The module and sensor may be powered by a typical DC power supply and communicates using standard or custom bus communications and protocols. Outputs include RS-485 and CAN. Available protocols include ASCII, CAN, and Modbus.

The modules may be mounted inside of the Strainsert sensor body in either a single bridge, dual bridge, or biaxial configuration.

Software tools are included for quick and convenient interfacing with device configuration, calibration, datalogging, and recording. A standard Windows DLL is provided for creating custom applications.

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. They are aimed at 350 Ohm sensor applications which require high measurement accuracy, resolution, and stability. The internal signal conditioner reduces interference in noisy environments and allows for longer cable runs. The module and sensor may be powered by a typical DC power supply. Outputs may be configured for either UniPolar or Bi-Polar operation.

The modules may be mounted inside of the Strainsert sensor body in either a single bridge, dual bridge, or biaxial configuration.

Load pins are designed into sheave applications for measuring line tension. Sheaves are designed with either a variable or constant wrap angle. For the variable wrap angle case, two strain gage bridges are installed perpendicularly (Px and Py). For the constant wrap angle case, one strain gage bridge is installed along the primary (sensing) axis of force (P).

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. This is facilitated by the installation of 2 perpendicular strain gage bridges (Px and Py), instrumentation, and geometric calculations.

One common use for a Bi-Axial Load Pin is at the hub of a sheave (or pulley) system, which is used to measure line tension. A Bi-Axial Load Pin installation has one end of the line at a fixed angle as a reference while the other end will vary in angle. See Strainsert Load Pin for Sheave Applications Note.

Dual Bridge Clevis 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.

Electrical terminations can be radial or axial using either single or dual connectors (dual shown below). Permanently attached cables can also be provided

The Strainsert deep sea/high pressure Clevis Pin provides the ability to measure force at clevis joints under high-pressure conditions. Complete systems are available, and include the Instrumented Clevis Pin, cabling, and a digital display indicator.
