Load Measurement Applications
The Need
A Fishing Trawler at sea is pulling a large load connected with wires and ropes to the ship. Uncontrolled, this load can lead to increased fuel consumption, greater demand for engine maintenance, and danger to ship and crew in rough sea conditions.
The Challenge
Controlling the rope tension with a special Sherborne Sensors trawler block strain gauged load pin has proven very successful to prevent damage and danger to the fishing trawler
Reliable measuring capability in all weather conditions is mandatory for this application Sherborne Sensors’ superior sensor design combined with our intensive manufacturing process assures the load sensor is performing to the highest standards.
The Solution
The Sherborne load pin V399 is designed to fit into a standard trawler block. It performs high-precision measurements in all marine weather conditions making it an ideal solution for this type of application.
