ROMOR and Rugged Controls team up
To deliver a side scan sonar system for the Ocean Tracking Network’s Acoustic Detection Network on the East coast.
LCI-90i-IS Hazardous Location Display
Monitor speed, payout, and tension – both cable and chain – in single or multi winch systems with easy to read, durable displays.
LCI-90i-IS Hazardous Location Display
The LCI-90i-IS Hazardous Location Display is a new, next-generation rugged programmable controller that combines advanced signal-processing capabilities with the rugged reliability that made the original LCI-90 display a popular choice for new winch projects and retrofits of existing line monitoring equipment. Versions of the UL Approved Class 1, Division 2 Rugged Programmable Controller are available for winch, pump, crane, tank, and torque applications.
Line Tension, Speed, & Payout Monitoring
Running Line Tensiometers from Rugged Controls
RTLs of the highest quality.
Rugged Controls manufactures rugged and accurate running line tensiometers (RLT) that feature alloy-steel frames with marine grade coatings and high quality stainless steel fixtures. Force and count sensors are located in a removable center sheave, allowing for easy installation without the need to cut or modify the winch lines. If future needs change these RLT’s can be just as easily removed for use in other applications.

Customers who require instrumented shackles for line tension, heavy lifting, construction and other monitoring applications can select from our list of stock and quick ship sensors. We stock 5/8” to 3” (3.5T to 117T capacity) Smart Shackles in cabled and wireless versions.
Instrumented Sheave Assemblies
Instrumented sheave technology from Rugged Controls
Instrument Sheave Assemblies from Rugged Controls
For mission-critical towing and workboat operations, our instrumented sheave assemblies can be counted on to deliver the highest level of quality, performance, and reliability.
Sheave assemblies are customized to your application and can be provided with sensors for tension, payout, speed and angles. We can design vertical or horizontal lead sheave assemblies or hanging blocks for EM cable, wire or synthetic ropes.
Individual sheaves can be provided to customers for integration into their levelwinds or existing sheave assemblies. We can also retrofit existing sheave assemblies with force and rotational sensors to enable line parameter viewing.
