Thames Side Load in pins (Load Bolts)
Accurate load measurement without modifications! Strain gauge load pins replace existing shafts and provide robust, reliable monitoring for cranes, conveyors and marine applications - customised to your needs.
Strain gauge load pins can easily replace an existing fork, pivot or solid shaft in machinery or equipment to measure the load at that point.
