The DMS strain sensors X-103-S05 are ideal for use in the following areas:

Weight measurement on beams or supports
Measurement of small strains on rigid structures for the analysis of mechanical loads

The strain gauges from X-Sensors reliably measure even the smallest strains on the surface of flat structures. Despite their simple screw-on mounting, the measurement results are comparable to those of bonded strain gauges, while avoiding their disadvantages.

Features:

Reliable measurement of the smallest strains for indirect force measurement
Nominal measurement range of 0…1000 µm/m
Suitable for both cyclic and static force measurements with subsequent signal amplifier
Extremely flat design with a height of only 6.5 mm
Simple and space-saving mounting directly onto the construction surface

How it works:

The surface strain sensor X-103-S05 detects the strain between the two screw-on surfaces and amplifies it mechanically. This focuses the strain at the measurement point, where it is converted into an electrical signal by a resistive measurement bridge. The robust steel housing and compact design (IP65) ensure reliable operation, even under challenging environmental conditions.
