INDEPENDENT REPLACEMENT ENGINEERING
Magtrol, Strainsert & Straightpoint load pin replacement review.
Send the original model, drawing, calibration sheet and instrument details. We assess a custom alternative against mechanical fit, load cases and the complete signal chain.
| Existing system | Candidate family | Required evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Magtrol LB / LE | MT-LPS-CLV / MT-LPS-2D | Mechanical drawing, bridge versus amplified output, force direction |
| Strainsert clevis / bi-axial | MT-LPS-CLV / MT-LPS-2D | Lug span, angular datum, bridges and cross-axis calibration |
| Straightpoint / Crosby loadpins | MT-LPS-WCH / MT-LPS-SHK | Pin/body drawings, readout protocol, WLL and proof scope |
| Harken / marine rigging | MT-LPS-MAR | Rigging joint, connector, instrument and marine interface |
| Interface / other load pins | Drawing-specific MT-LPS | Exact part number, calibration data and electrical pinout |
Physical fit does not establish electrical compatibility.
Confirm excitation voltage, mV/V sensitivity or amplified range, connector pinout, channel count, polarity, scaling and required instrument protocol. Proprietary wireless systems may require a different receiver rather than direct pairing.
Keep the assembly approval in view
A replacement in a lifting shackle, overload protection or marine rigging system needs the equipment owner's engineering review. Quote-specific test records and system validation establish suitability.

THE FIVE-DIMENSION BRIEF
Your existing pin is the starting point.
Measure D / L / A / B / C or attach a sketch. We review the joint, load cases and interfaces before releasing a drawing or quotation.
- D
- Pin diameter and fit
- L
- Overall loaded length
- A
- Center loading tongue width
- B
- Each outer clevis lug width
- C
- Shear-groove center spacing
L describes the loaded span here. Include the overall end-to-end length, asymmetric lugs, spacers and retention details in your drawing or notes. Five values start the review; they do not fully define a production pin.
