This device is used to measure strains in tunnel linings, steel struts and reinforcing bars of piles, columns, walls and the like.
The transverse measuring sensor QMS is a transducer based on strain gauge depths for placement in bores for indirect force measurement in structures of machines, tools and systems. The front part of the sensor is force-sensitive in the transverse direction. The sensor requires a 10 mm diameter hole for mounting.
The integrated clamping device allows the sensor to be pre-tensioned in the mounting hole. Both tensile and compressive forces of the structure can be recorded in any direction. The measuring chain must be calibrated by comparative measurements after installation
Applications
Industrial monitoring of machine forces
Tool monitoring
Monitoring of column forces in steel construction
Monitoring of sick staff
Features
Indirect force measurement in all steel structures
Can measure compressive and tensile forces thanks to preload
No expensive special tools required for assembly and disassembly
Can be fixed at any depth and in any direction in the mounting hole
Available with various output signals and amplifiers
Possible output signals
mV/V
-10 to +10 V
iOLink
LVDS
Second selectable amplification level
The amplification can be changed by an adjustable factor via the software or a digital pin. This means that measurements with input signals of very different levels can also be carried out with a high resolution. The amplification can be adjusted by a factor of 1 to 100.
