Product Announcements: Tension Sensing

The 1216 Axial Torsion Cells are engineered to provide extremely accurate measurement of axial force while simultaneously measuring torque. The 1216 can measure axial force in tension or compression and either clockwise or counterclockwise torque. The 1216 includes Interface's unique compensation for extraneous loads. They are fatigue rated and designed for minimal crosstalk. (read more)

The COLUMBIA Fatigue-Monitor Strain Sensor may be bonded to critical airframe surfaces using conventional strain-gage bonding techniques. The unique construction and small size of the 2684 Series permits easy application with a new and higher level of accuracy and mechanical integrity. The four, #26 AWG, Teflon-insulated lead wires eliminate the tedious and difficult termination methods... (read more)

Columbia's foil strain sensors monitor the fatigue loading experienced by tactical aircraft under various conditions of speed, weight and missions configuration. Critical undercarriage structures and control surfaces may be monitored for fatigue damage induced by high-G maneuvers and high stress landings. These sensors are self-temperatures compensating, environmental resistant, have a h... (read more)
