Abstract: A pressure overload protector for a sensor includes a pressure-filled channel system fillable with fluid or gas, a first overload stop seated in an open position, a first diaphragm at the unseated end of the first overload stop, a second overload stop seated in an open position, a second diaphragm at the unseated end of the second overload stop, a sensor connected to a fluid channel, and a third and fourth overload stop connected by channels to the fluid channel of the sensor and terminating at a fluid exit. The overload protector provides bidirectional over and under pressure protection to the sensor.

Abstract: A shackle assembly includes a shackle body having two shackle arms extending from a bridge portion which is fixed to the two arms and connects the two arms to each other. A shackle pin can be mounted to the shackle arms and connects the two shackle arms in the mounted state. At least one pocket is formed in at least one of the shackle arms and/or the shackle pin, in which pocket a strain sensing element is received and fixedly attached to the bottom or wall of the pocket for detecting a shackle load acting on the shackle assembly. The pocket is a hole going partially through the shackle arm or going partially through the shackle pin, and the strain sensing element is a strain gauge which is attached to the wall or bottom of the hole.
