LORD MicroStrain have introduced an upgraded wireless system specifically designed for use with various environmental measurement sensors. The ENV-Link-Pro-LXRS replaces the “Mini” version, and accommodates two thermocouple inputs, a relative humidity/temperature (RHT) sensor, and 4 additional 0-5 VDC sensors. Possible sensors include pyranometer (light measurement), soil moisture, leaf wetness, rainRead More

TML have just introduced a new type of bolt strain gauge designed to measure the axial strain in a bolt.  Like their other range of bolt gauges, these require a hole to be drilled in the end of the bolt, but the adhesive used to glue them in is aRead More

The new model 7556A sensors from Dytran Instruments are a fully analogue output six degree of freedom (6DOF) sensor containing a MEMS based triaxial accelerometer as well as three MEMS based gyros. These sensors will provide the end user X, Y, Z acceleration (g’s) as well as rotational information ofRead More

TML have introduced a novel device for applying pressure to a strain gauge, whilst the adhesive is setting during installation. The magnetic Pressee with a built in magnet, part number PM-19, can specimens over 1mm thick, is very easy and quick to apply, and also allows for the gauge placement toRead More

The AR3000 distance laser measurement sensor is ideal for extremely long-distance applications for monitoring the position of targets and objects. The unique sensor uses pulsed time of flight measurement prnciples to achieve measuring speeds to 2 KHz. The AccuRange 3000 laser measurement sensor is an eye-safe (Class I) infrared laserRead More

The new 3DM-GX4 series of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Inertial Navigation systems, are designed to be drop in improved successors to the popular LORD MicroStrain 3DM-GX3 range. They are smaller, lighter and incorporate the latest in MEMS sensor technology, whilst including some extra features. The 3DM-GX4-25 is the generalRead More

Dytran Instruments has introduced the 4400A vibration logger system, which they are calling the VibraCorder. Utilising a built-in triaxial DC accelerometer with a MEMS capacitive sensing element, and housed in an IP-64 anodised aluminium case, this system is designed to record critical vibration data onto a removable memory card, whichRead More

Dytran Instruments have recently released a new range of lower cost DC accelerometers to complement their ever-growing range of MEMS type sensors. This 7300A series of accelerometers offers nearly the same low noise outputs as their titanium bodied models, but in a more cost effective package. These sensors are designedRead More

The 3DM-RQ1-45 is a compact, ruggedized, tactical-grade all-in-one navigation solution with integrated GPS and magnetometers, high noise immunity, and exceptional performance. It takes advantage of some of the latest MEMS sensor technology, exhaustive calibration, and a custom made Kalman Filter to deliver capabilities to rival units which cost many times more.Read More

IEPE Wireless Node LORD MicroStrain Sensing Systems have introduced a new wireless node that operates with an IEPE (Integral Electronic PiezoElectric) accelerometer. The IEPE-Link-LXRS delivers 24-bit resolution and up to 104 kHz sample rates, and is designed for high-speed vibration sensing in challenging applications. The IEPE-Link works using periodic burstRead More
