The MSI Clamp-On Load Cell provides a durable, practical solution for measuring wire rope tension in overhead lifting systems. Built from zinc-plated 4340 steel, this load cell is designed for long-term performance in industrial environments where overload protection is mission-critical.
Designed to install quickly on the dead-end side of a wire rope, it enables safe, non-intrusive monitoring for a wide range of lifting applications. With two standard envelope options, it supports the most common wire rope diameters—3/8 to 1/2 inch and 9/16 to 3/4 inch.
When paired with an SCT-2000 weight transmitter, this load cell enables automated safety alerts and shutoffs based on programmable weight setpoints, ensuring a proactive approach to overload prevention. The 20-foot integral cable comes blunt-ended for flexible connections to MSI-8004 LED indicators, transmitters, or integrated control systems.
Perfect for enhancing crane safety systems, the MSI Clamp-On Load Cell is also available in custom sizes for unique wire rope configurations. For advanced overhead protection with minimal install complexity, this solution stands out as rugged, reliable, and ready to integrate.
