Strain gauges
In the Oil and Gas industry we have assessed the most frequent uses for measuring physical properties such as strain, stress, load, pressure and torque by using strain gauges.The strain…
About
about us.
Active Load International provides complete transducer solutions as well as designing and manufacturing strain gauge transducers.
Strain gauge transducers are designed to be Load Cells, Force Sensors, Torque Sensors, Pressure Transducers and any other strain related product.
Active Load can incorporate the strain gauge cells with a strain gauge amplifier to achieve an enhanced signal. Many of our strain gauge load cells are designed to be in the form of load monitoring pins to measure rope tension. Other forms taken are as load monitoring links and compressive load cells.
Load Measuring Pins.
"As knowledge of materials and designs develop, the load measuring pin is improving in
accuracy and predicted life is increased. The associated electronics are making it easier to
measure loads that were difficult in the past but can now be continually monitored. "

Applications.
Applications.
Active Load International has experience of strain gauge transducer applications in many industries. Having hands of experience in many of the harsh marine and construction industries we fully understand the importance of having the correct product for the application.
We understand that the strain gauge transducer, such as load pins have to be designed to meet the specification required but also complement the assembly that it is to fit within.
