VWS-2000 VW surface mount strain gauges
The VWS-2000 Surface-Mount Vibrating Wire Strain Gauge is a high-precision sensor designed to measure strain in structural and geotechnical applications. Using vibrating wire technology, it provides accurate, long-term strain monitoring for a wide range of materials, including steel, concrete and rock. This sensor is commonly used in monitoring bridges, retaining walls, dams and structural beams, allowing engineers to assess load distribution, stress changes and structural integrity over time.
The VWS-2000 consists of a robust stainless steel body with mounting brackets for secure attachment to surfaces. The gauge measures strain by detecting frequency shifts in the vibrating wire, ensuring high accuracy, stability and resistance to temperature fluctuations. With a gauge length of 150 mm, it captures precise strain measurements while maintaining durability in harsh environments. This strain gauge is compatible with automated data logging systems, enabling real-time monitoring and remote access to data. Its low-maintenance design ensures long-term performance, making it ideal for critical infrastructure projects.Monitel integrates the VWS-2000 into our comprehensive structural monitoring systems to track structural stress and deformation in real-time. Common applucations include:
- Wall monitoring
- Tunnel monitoring
- Other structural monitoring systems
