Strainsert - Product Announcements

The Force Sensing Tension Link is another unique strain gage transducer developed by Strainsert. The Links utilize the internal strain gage process perfected by Strainsert during the last forty five years and used so successfully in Strainsert bolts, Load Pins, and Flat Load Cells. (read more)

Metric Flat Load Cells are simply Universal Flat Load Cells designed for tension/compression force measurements, with the difference being they are designed to interface with metric loading rods/hardware and they are calibrated in SI units. (read more)

Compression Flat Load Cells are also offered in a wide force measurement range from 250 up to 2.5 million pounds. These load cells are designed to measure forces in the compression direction in many common aerospace, automotive, marine, military and industrial applications. (read more)

The internally gaged Clevis Pin (invented by Strainsert, U.S. Patent No. 3,695,096) is designed to measure forces transmitted/supported through pin joints. The force sensing pins allow direct, accurate, and repeatable measurements in pin joints from 1/4" diameter to over 10" diameter in almost every type of pin joint. (read more)

The Force Sensing Actuator Clevis Pin are unique strain gage transducers utilizing the internal strain gage transducer process developed by Strainsert and used also in their Flat Load Cells® and Tension Links. These clevis pins and clevis bolts offer precision force measurement and monitoring by replacing existing clevis pins in hydraulic cylinder/actuator hardware. (read more)

Strainsert - for superior internally gaged force transducers.

The Force Sensing Clevis Pin or Clevis Bolt, otherwise known as load pins, are unique strain gage transducers utilizing the internal strain gage transducer process developed by Strainsert and used also in their Flat Load Cells® and Tension Links. (read more)

Standard Hex Head Cap Screws (Steel Alloy), SXS Series

Strainsert fasteners utilize an exclusive internal gaging method to indicate bolt tension due to preload with strain gage accuracy. Fasteners provide a means for accurate, independent inspection of an assembled bolt for preload. (read more)

In addition, to their Strainsert Standard Hex Head, 12-Point Bolts, and Studs, Strainsert also manufactures many custom force sensing fasteners tailored for unique applications, installations, and special requirements. (read more)

Strainsert Load Sensing Clevis Bolts are guaranteed to have combined error due to repeatability, non-linearity, and hysteresis of less than 1% of rated load. (read more)

•To measure accurate preload, service load and overload of bolted assemblies

•For maximum uniformity, efficiency and reliability in bolted assemblies

•For effective research, testing and manufacturing of bolted assemblies (read more)

Fatigue Rated Flat Load Cells are similar to the Universal Flat Load Cell models and are designed for fatigue measurement/control applications in both tension, compression and/or tension/compression directions. The load cells possess very low deflection, high natural frequencies, and a one billion cycles fatigue rating! (read more)

•For maximum uniformity, efficiency and reliability in bolted assemblies

•For effective research, testing and manufacturing of bolted assemblies (read more)

STRAINSERT ST Series Standard Studs employs an exclusive internal gaging technique* to detect the loads induced in them. This technique consists of the installation of foil type strain gages inside a small hole drilled along the longitudinal neutral axis of the Stud. This is far superior to the usual external gage installations both in mechanical and environmental ruggedness. (read more)

Strainsert standard Universal Flat Load Cells^® are offered in a wide force measurement range from 250 up to 2 million pounds. They are designed to measure forces in both tension and compression directions in research, testing and control applications. (read more)

Many Strainsert Instrumented Clevis Pin designs are incorporated into sheave and pulley systems. The user has the option of either designing a sheave around Strainsert's standard CPA Clevis Pin series or having a custom pin manufactured for an existing sheave design with a tailored measurement capacity and geometry, allowing for simple installation and optimized measurement capability.
