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.

Transducers for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Design and Operations

Accurate measurement of force and torque transforms ground support from reactive repairs to proactive, condition-based lifecycle management. Whether installing new hardware or upgrading existing equipment with direct-fit load pins, tension links, and load cells, continuous force, torque, and weight monitoring safeguards aircraft and ground personnel from unnoticed structural stresses, equipment failures, and overloading.
Rigging

The Mechanics of Suspended Loads in Heavy Rigging

Interface products provide real-time measurements of cable tension and load weight to prevent dangerous overloads of rigging equipment. Rigging converts rotational, linear, or gravitational forces into controlled mechanical displacement. It relies on calculating vector forces, tension distribution, centers of gravity, and safe working load (SWL) limits to ensure that heavy components remain structurally stable and balanced throughout dynamic motion.
