- Why should I choose Datum Electronics strain gauge, measurement sensors and amplifiers?
Datum’s bolt-on strain gauge and measurement sensors have been developed to suit the harshest of environments – they are robust and water-resistant, and can be installed without soldering or special adhesives
- What are the most common applications for Datum’s off-the-shelf strain measurement sensors and amplifiers?
Datum Electronics’ range of bolt-on strain measurement sensors are regularly used in industrial applications such as Silo Weighing, Tank Weighing, Hopper Weighing, Bunker Weighing, Bin Weighing, Container Weight Verification and Onboard Vehicle Weighing
- Can Datum’s standard strain gauges provide temperature compensation?
Yes – our 3-hole bolt-on strain gauge can provide temperature compensation, along with a live continuous data stream to a vehicle’s systems
- Why would I need a custom-built strain gauge sensor?
Common reasons why Datum Electronics is commissioned to design and supply custom bolt-on strain sensors include specific IP ratings, bespoke integration methods, unusual physical package design and so on
