Rossens, Switzerland – Magtrol, SA has announced its latest development in our line of load pins. The LE 500 Series Load Pin incorporates strain gauge technology and Built-In Test Equipment (B.I.T.E) to allow electrical in-line control of the load pin. This new electronic module enables the user to determine the sensor status in relation to its functioning, overload or short circuit. Redundant or X-Y versions are also available. The introduction of this newest load pin secures our position as a leader in the fields of load and overload control for cranes, hoists and lifts.
