Reusable ICP® Strain Gauge
-
This high-resolution dynamic alternative to bond foil strain gauges uses a quartz sensing element in a durable, titanium housing. It has 0.0006 microstrain resolution, 5 volt output, 100k Hz frequency response and 0.5 gram mass for lightweight test articles. The reusable sensor comes with a calibration certificate, attaches to the test specimen in 60 seconds and is removed in 10 seconds.

Building Acoustics
-
Measurements to evaluate and improve Building Acoustics are typically made to analyze and design noise control from room to room, or from outside to inside. Noise sources such as music systems, televisions, appliances, traffic, aircraft, and manufacturing are all around us. The field of Building Acoustics evaluates and designs the materials and methods to insulate and isolate us all from these sound sources when we are at work, rest, or enjoying leisure time. The resulting data is useful for evaluating compliance with building codes and for proposing countermeasures for areas of concern. These measurements often involve creating and measuring an artificial sound source, and then measuring the resulting noise in receiver locations.

Sensor Cables
-
PCB® manufactures a wide variety of cable assemblies that will mate to different sensor types, signal conditioners and data acquisition systems. Cables are an important part of every measurement system. PCB carefully selects different raw cable types from trusted suppliers and time is taken to design cable to connector interfaces that will be reliable. All cable assemblies are produced at one of PCB's manufacturing locations to tightly controlled assembly procedures that ensure durability in various applications and environments.

Endevco Cryogenic Charge Output Accelerometers
-
PCB's acquisition of Endevco's full line of testing sensors means all Endevco sensors are now backed by PCB's Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) guarantee. Endevco® cryogenic piezoelectric accelerometers are built specifically for measuring vibration under cryogenic conditions down to -452° F (-269° C). Signal outputs of these units are very stable even at extremely low temperatures. Their rugged internal construction is designed to withstand multiple cycles of thermal shock with steep temperature gradient. The accelerometers are self-generating devices that require no external power source for operation and contain no electronics. This allows them to operate below the -320° F (-196° C) limit of ICP accelerometers, down to -452° F (-269° C).

General Purpose Low Profile
-
Our low profile load cells feature an advanced structural design that makes them extremely durable, accurate, and resistant to large extraneous shear and moment loads. To perform in a linear and predictable manner, the outside diameter of the load cell must be bolted to a flat rigid surface. When this is unavailable, our factory installed base provides a convenient threaded attachment point for easy installation and use in both tension and compression. All low profile load cells are stocked with the mounting base installed, but we can remove the base upon request.

Rod End Load Cells
-
Our rod-end load cells are designed for integration into tension measurement. They are versatile, durable, and fit easily into small spaces such as inline with vehicle tie rods.

Product
General Purpose Quartz Force Sensors
-
General purpose force sensors are offered in either stud or axial mounted configurations. They are internally pre-loaded and can be used for dynamic compression, tension, and impact force measurements. Tapped mounting holes on both ends of the radial connector style support link, platform, integrated link, and free-standing installations. The axial mounted type offers protection of the electrical connector and sensor cable from potential damage during drop testing and in free-standing installations. Supplied impact caps facilitate impact and drop force measurements.

Industrial ICP® Strain Sensors
-
For Process Monitoring/Quality Control. The Industrial ICP® Strain Sensors incorporate piezoelectric quartz sensing crystals that respond to a longitudinal change in distance. The resultant strain measurand is an indirect measurement of stress forces acting along the structure to which the sensor is mounted. As such, these devices can provide insight into the behavior of mechanical systems or processes that generate an associated machinery reaction.
