The Power in Pairing Load Pins with Shackles

Interface load shackles with load pins provide real-time weight and tension data across industries, from aerospace to maritime. They integrate easily into existing equipment and machinery and can be configured for independent test rigs and new product designs. A load shackle is never just a sensor. It is primary load-bearing rigging hardware. Treat the pin and shackle body as an engineered pair, machined for alignment, locked against rotation, and calibrated together under actual rigging conditions.

INTERFACE 101 SIDE LOAD

Side Load Sensitivity 101

Interface 101 highlights the side force effect, side load sensitivity, and eccentric load sensitivity. Side load sensitivity is how a load cell's output is influenced by a side force. It reveals the load cell's sensitivity to forces applied off its intended axis. A side force effect in compression testing with load cells refers to a force applied perpendicular to the intended axial compression force. This can happen due to misalignment between the load cell under test and the testing machine's loading plates.
