Our series 460 2-hole bolt-on sensor is not only an essential product for measuring micro-straight, but it can also become an integral part of a strain monitoring system for using in harsh environments.
Datum Electronics offers two types of multi-element strain gauge bolt-on strain sensors that have been developed to provide a rugged and robust production sensor with the benefits, associated with a complex strain gauge installation. They have been designed to measure tensile and compressive bending strains ranging from 50 to 1100 micro-strain, for use in applications including vehicles, civil engineering structures, silo, hoppers, vessels, and specialist engineering projects.
Bolt on strain sensors are widely used, however, they are dependent on the bolting down friction. When strains exceed about 600 micro-strain and have shock loads, conventional bolt-on strain sensor will show zero shifts. The Datum design of the bolt-on strain sensors is very compliant and can be used at much larger strain up to 10,000 micro-strain. The initial application was done for forged vehicle axles, where strains exceed 1500 micro-strain and a usual bolt-on sensor had been previously dismissed.
Our strain Gauge Bolt-on Strain Gauge Weight Sensors are quick and easy to install without any fine wiring or soldering. Its practical robust design allows the strain sensor to work in almost any environment, in any weather and even underwater if required. Rated to IP68, this is a truly universal product that will give you reliable accurate strain indication, whatever the application or environmental condition. All sensors are pre-tested and checked during final assembly, ensuring the reliability and quality of all our sensors.
Raw Strain Gauge Bridge Output – the bolt-on sensor has a four wire connection to the strain gauges that are configured as a Wheatstone bridge. This output will require an amplifier. It will be compatible with most strain gauge amplifiers and indicators. Should your indicator require a 6-wire input, refer to our connection guide.
Using the latest strain gauge techniques and technologies, the bolt-on strain sensor gives you accurate and reliable data, you require in a number of challenging environments. The bolt-on sensors are fully compatible with our wide range of load and strain indicators and amplifiers, allowing you to operate any number of sensors in parallel for your application. A direct serial link to a PC, or an analogue input to a data logger or PLC, is also an option and also very easy to achieve.
The Series 460 Bolt-on strain sensor is not only an essential product for measuring micro-strain, but it can also become an integral part of a strain monitoring system.
