Applied Measurements were approached and asked to manufacture a 3-channel digital displacement measurement system to replace an ageing and difficult-to-monitor mechanical system based on dial gauges. The result was a neat, user-friendly, high accuracy system based on a strain gauge sensing principle and coupled with the very latest digital indication technology, all delivered within 2 weeks and backed up by an expert team of engineers. The basis for the system was the strain gauge-based AML/SGD displacement sensor that has been designed specifically to offer high resolution and accuracy in applications where the more conventional choice a LVDT or potentiometer type sensor does not offer sufficiently precise performance. In this instance a 10mm version of the AML/SGD was calibrated over a […]

S-Beam Load Cells are The Versatile Choice
S-beam load cells are a highly versatile measuring device suitable for measuring a broad range of tensile or compressive loads from a few hundred grams right up to 30 tonnes with very high accuracy (better than 0.05% in most cases). Simple installation and compact size makes the S-beam load cell an ideal choice for many applications including materials testing, suspended hopper weighing, and winch monitoring where the in-line mounting arrangement via 2 female threads makes the machine builders life easy. The majority of our range of s-beam load cells are available ex-stock and are competitively priced. Custom or modified versions can be provided if required while our catalogue of existing modifications include; miniature (35mm high), waterproof, fully submersible, high temperature […]
