Gantner Instruments
April 2008
New signal conditioning amplifiers and data acquisition instrumentation added to the range. The Gantner Instruments range is now available from StrainSense.
New Stress Analysis Strain Gauges
The NMB range of strain gauges for stress analysis has been extended and now includes more 350 ohm gauges. The strain gauges are supplied encapsulated and with leadwires attached. Stocks of strain gauges held by StrainSense are increasing to meet customer demand.
The Worlds best pressure transmitter
The PRECISE pressure sensor from Presens breaks new ground in accuracy and stability. A figure of 0.01% covers the total error band for repeatability, hysteresis and temperature. Repeatability of better than 0.001% is easily achieved, with resolution of 1ppm (0.0001%) available if required. Stability of better than 0.01% per year is guaranteed.
Position and Tilt Sensors from Measurement Specialties
StrainSense have been appointed the official UK distributors for Schaevitz LVDTs RVDTs and tilt sensors, H L Planar tilt sensors and the Piezo film products and magnetic encoders from Measurement Specialties to add to the vibration sensors, force measurement sensors and accelerometers already distributed.
Application areas include test, measurement and OEM markets for aerospace, automotive, marine, rail, military and manufacturing industries.
For customers attempting to find www.entran.co.uk , StrainSense are the official UK Distributors for Entran products. The new website for Entran products is www.entransensors.co.uk Entran specialise in the manufacture of miniature sensors and sub-miniature sensors for force measurment, pressure and acceleration.
New Custom Strain Gauge Designs
New strain gauge designs are aiding transducer manufacturers to produce higher performance units and improve reliability while reducing manufacturing costs and assembly times. Sample gauges to a new design are typically available within 6 weeks of order.
Products
Sensors and transducer developments for custom applications are just one of StrainSense's specialities. These may be one-off specials for test purposes or batch production for Original Equipment Manufacturers. Small to medium quantities of these specialist load cells are made in the UK and can be used for force, torque, pressure, and weighing, applications.
StrainSense offers a wide variety of strain gauges, in particular the NMB brand of foil strain gauges, custom sensors and standard load cells from Minebea Co. Ltd, Japan, a company with more than 50 years manufacturing experience. The ranges offered can be used for Transducer manufacture and for Stress Analysis applications.
A specific area of expertise is the supply and installation of very high temperature strain gauges.
Web store
In addition, StrainSense operates a webstore (www.strainsense.net/) allowing easy selection of weighing equipment (scales, weights, balances) and transducers (force and torque measurement and weighing). The site includes specifications and prices to allow online ordering and quick purchase.
