Strain sensor with mV/V-output (DMS measuring bridge)-1

For 0.250 Mm/m with very high sensitivity • Very flat design with only 6.5 mm height • Very high sensitivity and resolution • Strain sensor with mV/V-output (DMS measuring bridge) • For static and dynamic applications • For force, weight and deformation measurements • Measuring very small strains in rigid structures Surface strain sensor X-103 monitors the strain between its two mounting screws and amplifies this mechanically. In this way the strain is concentrated in the measuring area and can therefore be measured using a resistive strain gauge bridge. These strain sensors are used if the mV/V-signal of a DMS measuring bridge is used if more than one strain sensor should be connected in parallel. This is the case for weight measurements and for force measurement at several tie-bars of a press. The strain sensor will generate a proportional DMS bridge signal (mV/V) depending on the stress of the structure. An extremely solid steel housing, combined with IP65 protection guarantees trouble-free operation, even under harsh and rugged environment conditions.

The zero adjustment at the strain sensors with DMS bridge output signal (mV/V) is done at the subsequent amplifier. X-SENSORS offers two different types of amplifiers: One for static applications and one for dynamic applications. For dynamic applications, a digital input for automatic zero-point adjustments is offered. For static applications, the zero point can be adjusted manually by DIP switches and by a potentiometer for fine tuning. The strain sensors should be mounted on machined surfaces N9 with a flatness to within 0,5 mm. Use the following parameter for tighten the socket screws: The...
