The crack sensor CS40 is used to monitor cracks on structures. Another area of application is the dendrometer, for measuring the perimeter of tree trunks. The path sensor is suitable for single-axis distance measurement for the measuring range of 5mm.
The crack sensor is constructed in strain gauges technology.
The CS40 crack sensor is installed with adhesive M-Bond 30, M-Bond 31, or with a steel cable to measure the circumference of tree trunks. For the fastening of a steel cable, millings are available, which are closed similar to a fork head, with cylinder pins.
The strain gauges are covered with silicone. The path sensor has a protection class of IP65 Due to the open construction, additional measures to protect against water and moisture are recommended for long-term outdoor applications, e..B covers or additional coatings with silicone.
The GSV-2MSD or GSV-6LTE measuring amplifiers are suitable for data collection and acqusition.
