Magtrol launches load pins with integrated amplifier

Swiss manufacturer Magtrol has brought out a new load pin, the LU Series, that has a built-in amplifier. The compact design provides an amplified 0-10V signal output directly from the sensor, proportional to the load. An integrated electronic board has been designed to answer electromagnetic compatibility and immunity (EMC/EMI) requirements. These new built-in features alleviate problems linked with external amplifier connections, Magtrol claims.

Made of high resistance stainless steel, the LU load pin is available in 10 standard capacities from 2.5kN to 1250kN with special versions up to 2500kN. Options include an IP 68 protection grade and OIML weight/measurement certification.
