Displacement Sensor, os5100

Product catalog summary
Description: The os5100 displacement gage utilizes fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology to measure displacement between two points on a specimen surface. It is designed for easy attachment to various substrates, including metal and concrete, and is housed in a rugged anodized aluminum enclosure for protection in harsh environments. The gage can be used individually or as part of an FBG sensor array, offering advantages such as EMI immunity and reduced cabling complexity.
Applications: The os5100 is suitable for measuring displacement between gage points, monitoring construction joints, crack growth in structures, and long-term measurement across expansion joints in infrastructure.
Features: Key features include a rugged aluminum enclosure, simple installation, multiplexing capability, fast response time, high resolution, temperature compensation, and integrated junction box for connector protection.
Performance Properties: The gage measures displacement from 0 to 50 mm with an accuracy of 0.03 mm in steady environments. It operates between -40 to 80°C, has an IP67 water resistance rating, and a fatigue life of 10 million cycles at 40 mm stroke.
Optical Properties: The gage has a peak reflectivity of over 70%, a FWHM of 0.25 nm, and isolation greater than 15 dB.
Physical Properties: The gage dimensions are 152.4 x 76.2 x 44.5 mm, weighs 1 kg, and is made from anodized aluminum and stainless steel. It accepts cables between 3 to 7 mm in diameter.
Accessories:
  • Angle Bracket Mount (sa5101): Provides secure attachment with slotted holes for alignment.
  • Safety Disconnect (sa5102): A magnetic breakaway device to protect the gage from damage, automatically reconnects when within range.
  • Universal Joint (sa5103): Compensates for misalignment with zero backlash design, suitable for non-axial movements.

The gage design is flexible enough to allow for easy attachment to various substrates, making measurements on metal, concrete and other surfaces straightforward. The two FBG sensors that comprise the os5100 gage are located within the rugged hard-coat anod- ized aluminum enclosure which shields them from the elements and allows for installa- tions in harsh environments os5100 Displacement Gage with integrated junction box (shown without cover) This gage can be used alone or in series as a part of an FBG sensor array (which may nclude strain and temperature gages, accelerometers and other displacement gages) Cabling for such arrays is much less expensive and cumbersome than comparable elec- tronic gage networks. Cables can be joined directly inside the enclosure, eliminating the need for separate junction boxes. The os5100 delivers the many advantages inherent to all FBG based sensors, including EMI immunity - something vibrating wire gages can- With each gage, Micron Optics provides a Sensor Information Sheet listing the gage factor and calibration coefficients needed to convert wavelength information into engi- neering units. Micron Optics' ENLIGHT Sensing Software provides a utility to calculate and then record, display and transmit data for large networks of sensors.
