CONT

The optical extensometer is a robust and extremely accurate fiber-optic displacement transducer. Its compact design allows it to measure a wide range of length changes and displacements of up to 5 mm. The optical extensometer registers these mechanical variables with a sensing head and converts them internally into optical signals. Conversion is performed in accordance with a patented microbending principle. The optical extensometer is able to register static and dynamic measurement variable over periods ranging from brief to many years, in accordance with the users requirements.
