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.

Understanding Dual Shear Load Cells
Interface dual shear load cells are strain gage sensors supported at both ends, with the force applied directly at the center of the beam. A double-ended shear beam load cell design is used in the high-performing Interface LowProfiles and load pins. The dual-ended design distributes force symmetrically across two matched shear webs. Strain gages are bonded to the machined webs inside the beam and configured in a full Wheatstone bridge circuit to convert mechanical shear stress into an electrical mV/V signal.

Innovative Interface Load Pin Applications
Interface load pins are commonly used in lifting and cranes to measure forces applied during use. Did you know they are also used in applications for tractors, airplane landing gear, aerospace structures, loading docks and monitoring bridges?
