We welcome our new Sales Engineer John Spraggon to StrainSense. John has had many years experience in the application and sales of sensors and will spend most of his time on-the-road assisting customers to find solutions to their measurement needs.
Specialist Torque Sensors from FGP
Custom torque transducers for rotary torque, reaction torque and multifunctional torque sensors are now available from StrainSense. Robust designs including non-contacting, torque flange, and steering wheel sensors can be supplied from standard ranges or designed to meet customer specific requirements.
Speeds up to 40,000 rpm, temperature to 180C and up to 10kHz bandwidth make the FGP sensors market leaders.
Optical encoders for hazardous areas
StrainSense Ltd has recently become a reseller of Hohner Automation Ltd's range of optical encoders for hazardous areas. Hohner products are focussed on the automation solutions for the offshore oil and gas industry around the North Sea. Their products have various ATEX, UL and IECEx certifications.
The optical encoders for hazardous areas are specifically designed for wireline, draw works, depth logging and all other oil and gas and mining industry applications. This product goes hand in hand with StrainSense's recent work in the subsea and oil related industries.
New linear potentiometers
A new range of rugged linear potentiometers from AIS has been added to our wide range of sensors. Stroke lengths from 12.5-250mm are available in a variety of designs with 25M cycle life, temperature ranges to 175C, and sealing up to IP67. Custom designs are readily provided in this UK manufactured range.
New low cost accelerometers
The new 200 series of MEMS accelerometers 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.
