MSNST #18XXXXX Load Cell Highlights:
Measurement Specialists Inc, dba National Scale Technology, manufactures shear pin and clevis pin-style load cells, or “load pins”, optimized to weigh anywhere from 500 pounds all the way up to 7,625,000 LBS for hanging-weight and rotational applications. On-site electrical engineers and technicians allow for customized bridge, excitation, output, and wiring configurations.
Shear pin, clevis pin, and cantilever pin-style load cells are hermetically-sealed cylinders ideal for rigging measurements. Thanks to their long operational life, Measurement Specialists’ pin load cells are great for retrofitting into existing clevis bolts, shear axles, shear pins, and shackle bolt devices. MSNST manufactures units interchangeable with most other force measurement brands – consistently reporting higher performance metrics in terms of accuracy and durability.
MSNST has been a provider and distributor of weighing solutions across the world for 40 years now, and carries discontinued pin-style load cells customizable to fit any need.
Specifications reflect shear pin and clevis pin-style load cells either currently in stock, or previously engineered and ready-to-assemble, as of August 2022. Accuracy data based on full-scale output readings upon completion of production, which is an average 6–8 weeks period for new load cells. Pricing available for off-the-shelf MSNST #18XXXXX units.
