 P2536 LOAD CELLS

This instrument is designed to measure displacement across joints and cracks in rock, soil, concrete and structural members. Grouting or bolting two threaded anchors on opposite sides of the joint and then attaching the ends of the gauge to the anchors install it.

The transducer uses a shaft coupled to a spring, which in turn, is coupled to a vibrating wire element. Movement of the shaft changes the tension in the spring and in the wire causing a corresponding change in its frequency of vibration.

 APPLICATIONS
Use Load Cells with Conspec's P2526 Single Input Smart Monitor to connect to trunk cable for continuous monitoring and read-out of all stress changes
P2526 converts frequency reading to a digital signal for
transmissions of data over long distances
Center Bushings are available to centralize smaller diameter bolts inside the load cells
