Characteristics
  • SF-01 is an FBG strain sensor based on a traditional foil gauge.
  • SF-01 is typically used for direct gluing to the measured surface to capture strain.
  • SF-01 does not contain internal temperature compensation.
Applications
  • Strain changes detection.
  • Vibration monitoring.
  • Material deformation monitoring.

Notes:

 

  • 1) Accuracy is established for each sensor under laboratory conditions, and it includes hysteresis, non-linearity, and repeatability of the sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this sample. The typical value is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 2) Precision is established on a batch basis and includes hysteresis, non-linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility of the sensor. The guaranteed value is determined based on the largest absolute error found in this sample. The typical value is determined based on the average absolute error found in this sample.
  • 3) FS: full-scale measuring range.
  • 4) See the product drawing for further dimensional details.
  • 5) Cable length is extendable upon request.
  • 6) Other connector types available upon request.
