Load Measuring Pins for Precise Measurements in Industry and Research
Our load measuring pins enable precise measurement of tensile and compressive forces directly within your existing structures. Instead of relying on standardized solutions, we develop measuring pins that are specifically tailored to your installation conditions, load cases, and environmental requirements. This ensures reliable measurement data, even under demanding industrial operating conditions.
- Custom design tailored to your specific application and mechanical setup
- Integration into existing machines, systems, and custom solutions
- High measurement accuracy using proven strain gauge (DMS) technology
- Robust construction for industrial and dynamic load conditions
- Development and manufacturing of fully customized solutions
These standard models offer a first overview of the technical feasibility. It is possible to jump directly into the calculator to customize the default load pin.
- Direct price calculation
- Option selection (IP protection, temperature range etc.)
Simply enter your dimensions into the calculator – you will be given the current price straight away. You can optimise the price by altering the options, quantities and measurements.
In our application library, you find examples where and how loadpins can be used.

What are load measuring pins?
A load measuring pin, also known as a load pin or measuring pin, is a connecting element between force-transmitting machine components. In addition to its mechanical function as a pin, it enables the measurement of shear forces acting within it. This measurement is achieved using strain gauges or magnetic coils integrated inside the pin.
Why are load measuring pins important for operational safety?
The importance of load measuring pins for safety lies in their ability to monitor tensile and compressive forces in real time. This enables early detection of overload conditions and potential material failure, helping to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
Where are load measuring pins used?
Load measuring pins are used wherever tensile or compressive forces need to be reliably monitored. For example, they are widely applied in crane and lifting technology to measure actual load conditions. In the construction industry, load measuring pins are used in structures such as bridges to monitor forces at critical points.
