  • LAU Pin Load Cell (ATEX)

LAU Pin load cell

Heavy-duty stainless steel pin load cell for reliable force measurement in lifting, structural, and safety-critical applications.


Key features

  • 17-4 PH stainless steel construction
  • Combined error ≤ ±0.1%
  • IP67 protection rating
  • Capacities from 5000 kg to 20000 kg
  • OIML R60 compliant design

Performance highlights

The LAU pin load cell is designed for robust force measurement where mechanical strength and reliability are critical. With a combined error of ≤ ±0.1%, it delivers stable measurements in high-load applications.

Usage conditions

Its stainless steel housing and IP67 protection make the LAU suitable for industrial and outdoor use. The load cell operates across a wide temperature range and withstands high overload levels, ensuring safe operation in demanding environments.

Possible applications

  • Crane and hoist load monitoring
  • Structural load measurement
  • Heavy machinery and lifting equipment
  • Safety and overload protection systems
  • OEM force measurement solutions

Advantages of choosing this product

The LAU pin load cell combines a compact pin-type design with high mechanical strength. Compliance with OIML R60 and availability of ATEX and IECEx options make it suitable for regulated and hazardous-area installations.

Other important features

  • Optional dual redundant strain gauge bridges for safety systems
  • High ultimate overload capacity
  • Simple mechanical integration as a load-bearing pin
