Loadpins
Loadpins are suitable for a wide range of applications and are one of the most important components when it comes to force measurement. In specialist circles, they are also referred to as force measuring axes, force measuring bolts or load measuring bolts. The areas of application are varied, depending on the applications in which they are to be integrated. They are most commonly found in mechanical and plant engineering or in industrial applications.
Loadpin as standard version - best price-performance ratio
Our standard loadpins are significantly more cost-effective than customized load measuring pins or force measuring pins due to their fixed dimensions. However, since the requirements in the design are often very individual, do not hesitate to contact octogon - as experts in measurement technology, we will be happy to ensure a precise integration into your application.

Description
Loadpins, also called force measuring pins or force measuring axes, are pins that are used to measure force or load. They are a specially designed measuring pin that is designed to measure mechanical loads such as tension or compression. They can be used not only individually but also as part of a larger measuring design. Our measuring pins can be combined with other components such as measuring amplifiers for data transmission. This integration offers greater flexibility and functionality, especially in industrial applications where safety monitoring and analysis of multiple forces is critical. Our sensors are mounted in locations where the measurement of forces and loads is important for monitoring the structural integrity, performance or safety of a plant or machine.
The bolts are usually made of stainless steel, so they have a high level of strength and rigidity to withstand the expected loads without failing. The design of the bolt is chosen so that it undergoes a measurable but controlled deformation (stretching or compression) under load.
Such bolts typically contain strain gauges (SGs) that sense the stretching or compression of the bolt under load. These strain changes are then converted into electrical signals that are used to calculate the forces acting on the bolt. The technology enables very precise and reliable measurement of forces and is used in many engineering fields where accurate force measurement is required. Its use helps in ensuring structural integrity, optimizing machine performance and preventing overload or damage to various systems and structures. Strain gauge load measuring bolts are known for their accuracy, reliability and durability and are an essential component in many measurement and monitoring systems.
Our load pins are designed to operate in harsh environments, including those with high humidity, temperature fluctuations and mechanical shock.
Overall, load measuring pins improve safety and efficiency in many engineering fields by providing precise and reliable information about mechanical loads.
