The TE485 measurement converter can convert the value from force sensors (strain gauges) into a digital number, readable for example from a PC or other higher-level system.

Measurements in the TE485 are performed by a precision low-noise A/D converter. The output is a value of ±32767 parts, but for a more thorough signal analysis it is also possible to read the value directly from the DAC.

What is a strain gauge?

Strain gauges are used wherever forces need to be measured - for example, when measuring the weight of materials or even whole vehicles and larger units, or when analyzing the deformation of materials under load, etc.

Application of strain gauges

  • Measurement of pressure, weight and deformation.
  • Accurate weighing of vehicles including differential weighing to determine load weight.
  • Weighing the material in the tank by accurately measuring the total weight of the tank.
  • Determination and analysis of stresses on structural elements, components or even entire structures such as bridges, etc.
  • Torque measurement.
  • Deformation measurement in the aerospace industry.
  • Analysis of the influence of temperature and pressure on the mechanical stability of materials.
