The MSI Clamp-On Load Cell offers a simple yet highly effective way to measure wire rope tension in overhead cranes and hoists. Designed for fast installation, this sensor clamps securely to the dead end of the wire rope and instantly begins transmitting load data.
Crafted from zinc-plated 4340 steel with an IP68 rating, it is rugged enough for outdoor or industrial environments where exposure to dust, water, or vibration is common. The sensor outputs a 350 ohm signal and connects to devices like the MSI-8004 remote LED indicator or the SCT-2000 transmitter, enabling real-time monitoring of load tension.
When integrated with the SCT-2000, the load cell allows for programmable weight-based setpoints that can activate operator alerts or automated safety shutoffs—critical for preventing dangerous overload conditions. Available in two envelope sizes to match popular wire rope diameters, this load cell provides a dependable, scalable safety solution for material handling systems.
