meSysteme DA54 strain sensor

Click2Contact

The DA54 strain sensor from meSysteme is a high-resolution measuring system used for the detection of forces and deformations in structures such as silos and tanks. This strain sensor offers comparable performance to the direct application of strain gauges even though the sensor is housed in a robust, anodised aluminium housing with IP65 enclosure. It consists of pre-wired, high-resolution strain gauges with negligible drift and is suitable for both static and dynamic measurement applications.

These precision strain sensors are generally applied for precise measurement of force and deformations on press, lifting tools or pedestals on production machines. The robust construction housing makes them durable and resistant to oil and moisture for integration in the industrial environment.

The DA54 sensor measures the forces transmitted through the housing at a position lateral to the loading direction. However, it can also measure strains up to 1000 µm/m longitudinal stress without impairing its accuracy. It can be easily applied without requiring drilling of threads, and the mounting strength can also be enhanced by integrating high-performance cable ties and magnetic clamps. However, the application surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and grounded before applying the sensor in place.
