LPM Stainless steel load measuring pin

Robust stainless steel load pin for accurate force monitoring in harsh industrial environments. Magtrol LB 210 equivalent.


Key features

  • Alternative to Magtrol 210 load pin series
  • Versions for offshore and subsea use
  • Proof loaded to 150% of rated load
  • Full strain gauge bridge technology
  • IP67 environmental sealing
  • Explosion proof and intrinsically safe options

Performance highlights LPM Stainless steel load measuring pin

The LPM Series is a high-strength stainless steel load measuring pin, built to provide precise force readings in demanding industrial environments. Designed as a direct equivalent to the Magtrol LB 210 series, it simplifies integration by replacing existing load-bearing pins without equipment modification.

Usage conditions

This load pin series offers temperature compensation, high insulation resistance, and IP67 protection, making it suitable for hostile, marine, and offshore environments. It's proof loaded to 150% and available in capacities from 2.5kN to 1250kN.

Possible applications

  • Crane overload protection
  • Winch load monitoring
  • Cable and wire tension measurement
  • Hoist safety control
  • Mooring force detection

Advantages of choosing this product

Its versatility, compact retrofit design, and compatibility with standard instrumentation make the LPM Series ideal for both OEM integration and upgrades. Various sealing options and hazardous area certifications support use in challenging sectors like energy, shipping, and heavy industry.

Other important features

  • Signal output: 1.0mV/V nominal
  • Operating temp: -20 to +70°C (standard), -20 to +55°C (Ex d versions)
  • Bridge resistance: 350Ω
  • Options include anti-rotation plates and integral signal conditioning
