New low cost accelerometers
The new 200 series of MEMS acccelerometers from Measurement Specialties is aimed primarily at the automotive and autosport sectors, being compact, extremely robust and can be powered from 5-16V DC. Applications include crash test, engine vibration, suspension and body monitoring. Ranges cover 5-50g with 10,000g overload capabilities and includes full temperature compensation from 0-125C.
FGP Join Measurement Specialties Group
The French sensor manufacturer FGP has been acquired by Measurement Specialties to enhance the range of specialist sensors available. FGP have a wide range of miniature force sensors as well as vibration, pressure and torque transducers. FGP sensors are available from StrainSense.
New Triaxial Accelerometer
Measurement Specialties introduces a new family of low cost, board mountable triaxial accelerometers designed for embedded shock and vibration monitoring applications. Included in this family are the model 832 series accelerometers offered in ranges from ±100g to ±500g and the model 834 series accelerometers offered in ranges from ±2000g to ±6000g.
New product Shortform Catalogue
A new Shortform Catalogue gives an overview of most of the products available from StrainSense. In addition StrainSense can now offer the Pico range of Data Acquisition Hardware and Software.
Pondus Distribution
StrainSense are pleased to announce that they have been appointed as distributors for Pondus Instruments AB, Sweden. Pondus manufacture very high quality pressure sensors for process industries, including hygenic and differential sensors. Many industry standards are met, including ATEX, 3A, DNV etc. For products please see http://www.pondus-instruments.se/index.html until we have added all to our website.
**NEW** Fluid Properties Analyser
The new FPA4200 series is a new sensor for directly measuring viscosity, density, dielectric constant and temperature of fluids in real-time. Typically used for oil condition monitoring in lubrication systems and hydraulics to sense when maintenance is needed. FPA datasheet.
Other 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.
