Dynamic Strain Sensor Monitors Machinery Forces
January 6, 2003, Depew, NY - The Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., announces the release of the Model 240A01 Dynamic ICP® Strain Sensor. The device measures dynamic and quasi-static stress on stationary and moving machinery and offers a simple technique for monitoring processes and detecting inconsistencies or upsets. A single screw easily installs the unit in a non-invasive manner on the machinery surface. Ideally positioning the device in the direction of maximum strain permits an indirect measurement of forces on such devices as mechanical presses, machine tools, fast-running production machinery, and automatic assembly machines.
The Model 240A01 utilizes piezoelectric sensing elements that are structured in an acceleration compensated configuration. Its robust construction, integrated microelectronic signal conditioning, and solid-state design stands up against harsh industrial environments and inteifaces easily to process
monitoring and data acquisition systems.
