Strain sensor for static applications X-103-7

4-screwflat

Applications The strain sensors are particularly suitable for static measurements, for example at the monitoring of structures or in the weight measurement of silos. Thanks to the digital input, the zero point adjustment can be easily teached-in by the PLC. The strain sensors for static applications are suitable for the following use cases: Determination of weight by measuring the deformation in the weight-bearing structure. This is a cost-effective way to retrofit existing construction, e.g. a silo, with a weight measurement. Monitoring of mechanical deformation at components Monitoring of loads at constructions and buildings for avoiding critical overloading The strain sensors from X-Sensors reliably measure even smallest strains on the surface of flat structures. Thanks to the strong and simple screw-on mounting, the measured values are more than comparable to glued strain gauges. Even more, because of the protecting housing, disadvantages of glued strain gauges are avoided. Thanks to the integrated, extremely low-noise and highly stable signal amplifier, the sensors are universal applicable. Functionality The surface strain sensor X-103-7 monitors the strain between its two mounting screws and amplifies this mechanically. In this way the strain is concentrated in the measuring area and can therefore be measured using a resistive strain gauge bridge. The integrated amplifier provides a signal conditioning and delivers a linear, robust output signal. The solid steel housing and the robust design (IP64) guarantee problem-free operation, even under difficult environmental conditions.
