Description of the Load Pin
Model F5308, F53C8 and F53S8 load pins are suitable for static and dynamic measuring tasks as a replacement for non-measuring bolts. They serve for determining tension and/or compression forces under harsh operating conditions.
Such load pins are very often used in hoists and crane systems, e.g. in construction cranes or in port and offshore cranes.
The corresponding technical and regional approvals of these force transducers are, of course, available as options.
The load pins are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant 1.4542 stainless steel, the properties of which are ideal for the application areas.
As output signals, the common active current and voltage outputs are available (4 … 20 mA, 0 … 10 V).
Redundant output signals and CANopen® protocols are also possible.
The load pins can be integrated into a certified WIKA overload protection with model ELMS1 (DIN EN ISO 13849-1 with PL d/cat. 3).
