VW LOAD CELL VWLC-5050
The VWLC 5050 series of Vibrating Wire Load Cells consist of a solid cylinder of high strength steel with 3 vibrating wire strain sensors mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis arranged equidistant around the circumference which measure the compression of the cylinder under load.
Description
With the multi sensor configuration it is possible to obtain accurate readings under mildly eccentric loading conditions as the sensors are read individually.
The readings from the individual sensors are averaged and when used in conjunction with a calibration factor, supplied with each cell, allow the applied load to be calculated.
The VWLC 5050 series is typically used to measure and monitor compressive load or force in structural members, struts and piles.
Connection to the load cell is via a heavy-duty multi-core sheathed cable which can be connected to a direct portable readout, data logging or Wi-SOS 400 system.

TILT BEAM MEMS
In stock
MEMS Tilt Beams are designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, for the measurement of tilt or differential settlement.
They consist of a highly accurate MEMS sensor housed in a fully sealed enclosure which is mounted on a lightweight rigid GRP beam. This can be mounted onto the structure using special anchors. The GRP beam has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion meaning that thermal affects are minimised.
IMAGING & CAMERA
In stock
The FlatMesh 4G Camera is a best in class solar powered solution for static imagery in remote or industrial areas.
It contains a monochrome digital camera which can take clear, high quality photographs day or night without the use of external illuminators.
The 4G camera connects to a Senceive EdgeHub (with FlatMesh) unit which provides power and connectivity over the cellular network (2G/3G/4G) or existing wired ethernet networks.
