Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Series 460 Bolt-On Strain Gauge Sensors, designed for measuring tensile, compressive, and bending stresses in various industrial applications. These sensors are suitable for use on vehicles, civil engineering structures, silos, hoppers, bridges, oil rigs, ship hulls, and building roofs.
Specifications: The sensors are easy to install, requiring no fine wiring or soldering, and are rated to IP68 for environmental protection. They can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C and are resistant to various chemicals and fuels. The sensors provide a rated output of 1.5mV/V for 1,000 micro-strain and have a maximum strain capacity of 1,500 micro-strain.
Diversity and Compatibility: The sensors are compatible with load and strain indicators and amplifiers, and can be connected to PCs or data loggers. They are designed to provide accurate data in challenging environments and can be part of a comprehensive strain monitoring system.
3-Hole and 2-Hole Sensors: The 3-Hole sensor corrects differential temperature effects between the sensor and the structure, while the 2-Hole sensor is recommended for structures at least 10 times larger than the sensor for accurate measurements.
Installation Guidelines: The mounting surface should be flat and clean. Adhesives can be used to fix the sensor, and surfaces must be thoroughly degreased to ensure proper adhesion. Recommended cleaning agents include Loctite 7063.
Application Examples: The sensors are applicable in vehicles, silos, oil rigs, hoppers, and ship hulls, among others.
Installation Procedure: Align the sensor with the structure, loosely bolt it, and apply adhesive if necessary. Tighten bolts alternately to achieve even torque, using specified torques for M10 and M8 bolts.
Adhesive Recommendations: Use Loctite Retaining Compound 638 or Loctite 330 with 737 activator for adhesive applications.

TYPICAL APPLICATION Present the sensor to the structure and check alignment of the fixing holes, loosely bolt the sensor to the structure to check that the sensor is not pre-stressed by the bolts. If using adhesives, remove the bolts and apply adhesive to either (a) Both surfaces or (b) One surface and catalyst to the other as directed. Present the sensor to the structure and loosely tighten the bolt by hand. Tighten alternately to achieve an even torque for each of the bolts. The bolt tightening should be carried out in a minimum of three even steps. A typical bolting torque of 40 Nm should...
