Stress and strain sensing are an integral part of most structural condition monitoring systems. Wireless Strain Gauge SenSpot™ sensors offer a breakthrough technology for real-time and long-term monitoring of structural integrity. SenSpot™ strain gauge sensors use Resensys proprietary sensing, scheduling, and ultra-low power synchronization technology. It is designed to operate maintenance-free for up to a decade. After installation, wireless strain gauge sensor SenSpots™ do not need calibration, battery replacement, or any other maintenance during its service life.

Benefits of Wireless Strain Sensor

  • Long battery lifetime (10 years, typical)
  • Wireless communication (IEEE 802.15).
  • Small size and light weight
  • High Accuracy: 1 microstrain typical resolution
  • High-rate data transmission triggered by sudden strain changes
  • Adjustable transmission interval
  • Easy mounting
  • High compatibility

Featured Applications

  • Long- term and continuous monitoring of strain (stress).
  • Detecting short-lived and transient high-strain events, e.g., caused by fast moving trucks on highway bridges or by turbulence on airframes.
  • Monitors and measures strain for highway bridges, airframes, pipelines, machinery, cranes, tunnels etc.
  • Conducts fatigue analysis, truck tests, and bridge load ratings.
  • Assess structural health in nuclear powerplants, wind turbines, and railway infrastructure.
  • Monitoring strain in buildings, dams, and retaining walls.
