Calculation of loadpin force

Force indicated for transverse force transmission

The transmitted force may change direction. This figure can be used to calculate how great the resulting force is in relation to the angle.Angle between the measuring direction of the load pin and the applied force:

Fr … resulting force

Fa … applied force

Fr = Fa * cos(α )

Resulting force in the event of looping

Loadpins are often used in lift systems or crane systems.Loadpins are assembled in pulleys as axles for these purposes. If the loadpin is not wrapped around 180° of the cable, the resulting force is less than the sum of the two cable forces.

Fr …   resulting force

Fa … applied force

α …  Angle between the measuring direction of the loadpin and the applied force

Fr = 2*Fa*cos(α )
