Extreme robust hydraulic ring force transducer for use in geotechnics.
The Geotechnics-Version of the ring force transducer is a hydraulic force measurement unit with either an indicating device or an analogue output signal.
They are extremely robust to fulfill the high requirements in the geotechnics market. With these hydraulic force measurement units the tension force at the anchor head can be measured and displayed in an easy way. Therewith anchors and other soil nails can be monitored continuously.
The force measurement utilizes the hydraulic principle: The force applied to a piston generates a hydraulic pressure, which is either displayed with an indicating device or converted with a pressure sensor into an analogue output signal.
Applications for the hydraulic ring force transducer can be found within the geotechnics market in various areas, e.g.:
