Flexion
When you are looking to measure strain on your vehicle or structure, Remote Mechanical Sensing (RMS) is there to instrument your mechanical parts with strain gauges.
RMS provides services to measure flexion / bending.
Weight acting on the load cell's metal spring element during a measurement results in elastic deformation. A strain gauge is mounted on the spring element, and it converts the strain, whether positive or negative, into an electrical signal. As a strain gauge experiences bending, a Wheatstone bridge measures the change in resistance across the metal foil. The amount of resistance that changes is proportional to the strain experienced by the mechanical part.
As experts in strain gauging services, calibration, testing, and data analysis are essential parts of our process. When using strain gauges, temperature variations typically have an unfavorable impact on the measurement outcome. This is the reason why we always ensure each instrumented part goes through thermal compensation tests before undergoing calibration & further tests for data analysis.
