Of course, hydroelectric power plants need to keep an eye on flow, level, temperature, and pressure. But don't forget about force, a key measurement as reservoirs are surrounded by rock and earth. There's also the matter of instrument calibration, an essential aspect …
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 …
“Phew, I’ve not gained anything!” Aren’t you relieved when your bathroom scale shows that? But in actuality, your scale doesn’t directly measure your weight. Instead, the load cell built into it converts the weight force into a path. In many industrial …
A load pin provides the connection between force-transmitting machine elements. It also allows the simultaneous measurement of the force acting on the sensor. Load pins are fixed in the axial direction as well as against rotation. A small gap of about 1/5 of a …
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 …
