Detailed Product Description

The mountable strain sensor MS-05 makes use of the internal strain sensitivity of the FBG. The FBG is prestrained inside a ruggedised housing between two anchoring points, which makes it possible to measure both extension and compression.

The sensor can be mounted on a structure using the two anchoring points with an outer thread M12 x 1,25. The sensor is configured so that the distance between both anchoring points will be about 60 mm .

The sensor will be connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible. Pigtail lengths and connector can be specified following the needs of every application.

In series configuration the strain sensor is not temperature compensated. The single configuration can be temperature compensated (optional).

Features

The mountable strain sensor MS-05 can measure displacements with a resolution of 1 µe and an accuracy of 10 µe. The total displacement range is 5000 µe.

Applications

The mountable strain sensor MS-05 can be applied for measuring small displacements, cracking or fissurisation of walls and structures.
