Load Pins for Aerospace Application 📰

15th May 2026

We have manufactured 36 of these load pins for an aerospace application where they will be fitted in a clevis arrangement to simultaneously measure forces in real time. Due to the operating environment they needed to be suitable for use in a Zone 1 hazardous area so were supplied with ATEX and IECEx Ex d (explosion proof) certification, as well as special cable gland protection to mitigate against any damage from the particularly arduous conditions. With load ratings between 5.5 tonnes and 8 tonnes, the load measuring pins simply replace the conventional clevis pin to provide precise load monitoring without the need to redesign the surrounding assembly.

Custom designed load pins are our speciality, so whatever the application, please get in touch if you have an upcoming project and need some advise or assistance.
