MV-LC0011 Load Pin for Two-Support Joints, up to 25 t

METRAVON MV-LC0011 is a load pin for measuring the reaction transmitted through a mechanical joint. Its technical load reference reaches 25 t. The outline shows a central F load and two F/2 reactions, so the supporting arrangement is part of the measurement definition. For a sheave, hoist linkage or other instrumented connection, provide a section through the joint rather than selecting a pin from machine payload alone.

Check the load pin against the two-support joint

The reference outline has a 200 mm longitudinal dimension, a 160 mm secondary reference, a diameter-100 bearing region and a diameter-110 end feature. The diameter-100 callout includes negative size tolerances. It is not a recommendation to make an unrestricted 100 mm bore. Identify the loaded member, both outer members, bushes, contact widths and gaps on the assembly section. Those positions must agree with the rated pin drawing; the overall length is not a substitute for the distance between support reactions.

Retain the measurement direction without trapping the connection end

The force arrow and the two local sensing sections establish an oriented measurement. The retaining arrangement must prevent unwanted rotation and axial migration while preserving the intended bearing contacts. The reference photograph shows two connector positions at an end. Reserve the space needed to mate, protect and disconnect the actual delivered connectors. Do not use a plug, cable or connector housing to restrain rotation, and do not derive the number or independence of measuring channels from the photograph alone.

Specify the electrical option before ordering the reader

The electrical entries describe alternative bridge, current and CAN routes. The bridge reference is 1.0 +/-0.015 mV/V with 10-12 V DC excitation; the 4-20 mA entry names 24 V DC. CANopen and CANopen Safety are option references, not proof that every pin includes a bus interface or an approved protective function. State the selected output, controller input and required channels in the enquiry. Obtain the delivered connector identity, mating-face view and terminal schedule before energising a replacement.

Agree what the indicated load represents

A joint reaction is not automatically the same value as rope tension, hook load or carried mass. Record the mechanism positions and force directions that determine that relationship. Reference precision is 0.5% FS, with a separate temperature-effect entry of 0.5% FS per 10 deg C. Assess the required working-load resolution on that full-scale basis. A larger pin selected only for overload margin may not resolve the small load changes needed by the monitoring process.

Record a joint-level acceptance result

Compare independent reference loads with the final indication at the required mechanism positions. Include repeated loading and return to the unloaded condition, and retain the bush, spacer, orientation and controller records. Check actual exposure against IP67 and the -40 to +85 deg C operating interval. The 200% FS safe-load figure belongs to the sensor reference, not to an approved proof test of the hoist or surrounding structure. Safety-related use requires the exact option documents and assessment of the whole installed function.
