With only one moving part, direct drive pressure gauges are extremely compact, rugged, and reliable. These characteristics are what make them ideal for use in safety-critical applications, such as oxygen systems found in airplanes and submarines. The traditional …
For accurate force measurement, it’s not enough to simply use the right sensor for the job. Just as critical is where the strain gauges are placed within the force sensor itself, and how they’re attached. We all know the adage about the three most important …
A transformation is currently taking place: Linear drives are taking the place of pneumatic and hydraulic drives, and there is no longer any scope for measuring pressure. However, WIKA has another solution: force measurement. Electrical propulsion technology is …
Drill two holes and cut the threads, prepare the surface, place the strain sensor and tighten both screws to the specified moment, and then set the zero point. Now the strain measurement can start. If only it were that easy! Of course, the procedure described for …
