Dytran Instruments and Sage Machinery Diagnostics have formed a partnership to bring a new generation of advanced diagnostics systems to the vibration health monitoring (VHM) field. The result of this collaboration is the innovative CAN-MD™ (Controller Area Network – Machinery Diagnostic) platform, a bus-based, digital smart accelerometer network with configurableRead More

The latest addition to the Dytran range of high temperature accelerometers is the model 3316C2, which is an electrically isolated ultra-high temperature piezoelectric charge mode sensor designed to operate reliably in temperatures up to 538°C. This workhorse accelerometer is characterised by its small size and by an internal electrical isolationRead More

OpSens Solutions supply a range of fibre optic sensors that work using white light as the source, instead of the laser light of other systems. Part of their range includes three forms of extensometer typically used in civil engineering applications. The spot welded extensometer can be used for surveillance ofRead More

LORD MicroStrain has introduced a wireless system specifically designed for use with strain gauges that are mounted on a shaft in order to measure torque. The Torque-Link™-LXRS® is a specialised analogue sensor node designed to fit over rotating shafts for wireless strain and torque measurements. The node has one orRead More

The new Dytran model 3054B is a unique, miniature biaxial accelerometer designed to be inserted up to 40 feet into 0.319 inches diameter heat transfer tubes for the purpose of measuring transverse acceleration of the tube. The Dytran model 3054B uses 8 beryllium copper springs attached to the outside ofRead More

Dytran has upgraded their general purpose 3055B and 3056B product families to the 3055D and 3056D. These workhorse hermetically sealed accelerometers are characterised by low noise, high resonant frequencies (> 35KHz), a tight sensitivity specification of +/- 5% and a frequency response of 1Hz – 10KHz. Especially popular as modalRead More

TML has recently published their new Strain Gauge Catalogue, which includes many of their new products released over the past few years, and has several new extra information pages. With full colour throughout, this 90 page catalogue now shows clearly the various integral lead wire options that are available, andRead More

The new Dytran model 1212V series are low profile ring style IEPE force sensors, which the industry commonly refers to as “force washers”, due to their similar appearance. These sensors are designed to measure rapid or slowly changing dynamic forces in machinery and other applications where a through stud orRead More
