The DU-1D Monitor is an industrial signal amplifier and monitor for strain gauges and strain sensors. It has integrated function for external and internal (automatic) reset. Force mesurement on tie bars displays in kN or tons and diameter input. Strain measurement displays in με (micro strain). Direct switch units and change parameters. The handling is very user-friendly. The magnetic strain gauge sensor QE1008-W measure the surface-strain directly at the mounting location in the same quality as bonded strain gages. The magnetic press-on technology, developed by Sensormate AG, presses the strain gauges under the stainless protective film so strongly against the surface to be measured that frictional contact occurs. The mounting of the sensor is non-destructive, very fast and simple.
