Strain Cable SC-02

Strain Cable SC-02

 

The fiber optic Strain Cable SC-02 is a long base strain gage sensor that can measure displacements up to 5% of its gage length. The sensor can be mounted on a structure by means of two anchoring points. The standard gage length can be chosen between 0.5m and 1m meter. The sensor is connectorised at one end and can optionally be delivered with an integrated temperature sensor for temperature compensation.

Features

  • Detection of displacement changes over base lengths of 0.5 or 1m
  • Large displacement range
  • The strain can be derived from the distance between the anchoring points
  • Monitoring compression as well as tension
  • Watertight and ruggedized housing, applicable in harsh environments
