Force measurement technology made in Germany

Mining, construction & heavy equipment

Temperature fluctuations, dust, damp, unusual loads, lengthy operating times: there are no half measures in the mining and construction sector. Measurement systems need to withstand a lot and still function with precision and reliability. A clear case for HKM-Messtechnik products. 

Our main focus is on overload protection for cranes and load measurement on conveyor systems, cable winches and hoists. Another focus is on stability of cranes, silos and mobile construction machinery. With the help of anchor force measurements, the preload and load curve can be precisely tracked when securing tunnels, excavation pits, slopes and rocks. We support you in choosing the ideal force measurement and, on request, develop a sensor solution specifically for you.

Individual measurement solutions
 

Typical use: measurements in the power flow

Our load pins are used for overload protection of cranes. They fulfil the function of a normal clevis pin and simultaneously measure the resulting tensile and compressive forces. The load pins are designed for high to very high loads.

Typical use: measurements in the force shunt

Our strain transducers are the correct choice for extremely high forces where measurement is not possible in the power flow.
