Sailing ships of all sizes need to tune the rigging of their sails to
maximize performance in expected at sea conditions. This requires the
cables and ropes used in the rigging preloaded to a specified tension.
To measure the preload applied onto the ropes and cables, threaded in
line load cells are used.
How it Works
An LCM525 Threaded In Line Load Cell mounts in line on the mast rigging.
As the rigging is tightened, the SensLog Handheld Display reads the LCM525’s output and displays it.
This enables the sailor to see the line tension in real-time as they adjust the rigging.
By incorporating a TEDS chip into the Binder© plug attached to the LCM525, a single SensLog Handheld Display can be swapped between sensors without the need to program the SensLog Handheld Display with the new sensor data.
