Load Pins and Position Sensors used for Antarctic Research

Applied Measurements needed to design and manufacture a pair of custom load pins for the university that could compensate for temperatures as low as -30degC. The load pin also had a built in ICA4S amplifier that could give a 4-20mA output for them to use to monitor the drilling forces.

Latest Case Studies

The TRX in use
We wanted to see why our customers buy the TRX Strain Gauge Sensor Display and what they use it for. Prescott Instruments Ltd is one such customer. Located near Tewkesbury, they use the TRX to provide a value-added customer calibration service.
The Prescott Instruments ‘Auto Load RHEO-LINE Multi-Function’ material testing machine is an engineering masterpiece. It takes in a rubber material sample and compresses it between two hot plates. With the rubber sample remaining compressed, the bottom plates slowly rotates back and forth, thus subjecting the sample to various torque forces while the rubber cures at a high temperature.
Submersible load cells go in DEEP
See how our DDEN load cells are being used by DEEP Research for underwater product development.
Applied Measurements Promise Precise Thrust & Torque Results in Tidal Turbine Testing
Read how our dual axis force and torque sensors was used in tidal testing by the University of Oxford. They aimed to understand how the spacing between tidal turbines and different control strategies affects the performance of tidal turbines.
