Structural tests often require a variety of measurements to validate design or to gain a better understanding of structural behavior under a different loading conditions. These measurements often include strain, temperature, load and last but not least a displacement. LVDTs are commonly the sensor of choice when making displacement measurements. However, many data acquisition systems capable of making strain measurements lack the necessary inputs to support LVDT technology.
In this podcast , Darryl introduces the new HS-A series linear displacement sensors. These extremely precise displacement sensors require a DC excitation and output a milivolt signal which can be monitored / recorded by strain measurement instrumentation thus eliminating the need for separate LVDT instrumentation.
Main Features:
• Infinite resolution
• True output linearity over the entire measurement range
• Low operating forces
• Excellent stability and temperature compensation
Micro-Measurements new HS-A Linear Displacement Sensors exhibit the same inherent advantages for linearity, versatility and precision as many other strain-gage-based sensors. As such, they are systems-compatible with a wide range of commonly used sensors for pressure, load, acceleration, vibration, etc. and normally utilize the same instrumentation.
The HS-A sensors may be operated with excitation voltages from 2 to 10V and are compatible with all standard strain gage data acquisition instruments and offer resolution typically limited only by the test instrument.
The new HS-A series has a selection of 5 models with full-scale ranges from 5 to 100 mm. Available with specially designed mounting fixtures, these versatile sensors are suited for use in research, manufacturing and process control as well as structural monitoring applications.
The new HS-A series 3F (Form-Fit-Function) is the same as the traditional HS series but has a better nonlinearity and a short lead-time of 2-3 weeks due to improve manufacturing efficiency.
