Integration of force measurement in U-bolts

Precise monitoring of anchor forces in demanding applications
LCM develops customized solutions for the integration of force measurements in U-bolts, which enable the monitoring of anchor forces in various applications. By using robust load cells, precise measurements are possible even under extreme conditions. These solutions are used in areas such as the construction of retaining walls, tunnel construction and the erection of wind turbines, where reliable force measurements are of crucial importance.
