LPW Wireless Load Measuring Pin

The LCM range of wireless load measuring pins are designed for general use. They are a simple and versatile type of load cell that are used in a large variety of applications such as cranes, winches, hoists, load shackles and bearing blocks. They are easily installed into machines by replacing any existing load bearing pin to provide accurate, real time monitoring of load forces.

Machined from high tensile stainless steel and normally supplied complete with an anti-rotation plate, all our load measuring pins are built to exacting standards and proof loaded to 150% of normal rated load. Our standard wireless load pin range covers ratings between 3.5 and 1500 tonnes, and can be provided as shown on this data sheet or can be modified to meet a particular application requirement (see LPB data sheet)

The unique wireless housing is manufactured from semi-aromatic polyamide plastic making the load cell far more compact and reducing the overall product weight. Located in the housing are two AAA alkaline batteries which can be easily accessed by removing the telemetry housing cover, while the internal electronics underneath remain completely sealed. The antenna is also internally mounted, protecting it from accidental damage during use and handling. The batteries are standard AAA alkaline batteries, which are readily available and low cost.

The LPW is supplied as standard without any additional wireless devices to enable greater flexibility with the configuration and ordering of the product. The LPW can be used with any of the T24 range of wireless instrumentation, whether this be for a simple display system using the T24-HS-LS, or more complex systems using multiple load cells and multiple wireless devices.

For more sophisticated systems, including datalogging or monitoring/reporting requirements, we are able to offer a robust tablet PC with installed software for use with single or multiple load cell installations. Our sales team will be happy to discuss the best wireless system configuration to suit your requirements.
