strain sensors

Kingmach strain sensors serve as the eyes inside concrete and soil, reporting the invisible stresses that accumulate over time. We offer two primary technologies: vibrating wire strain sensors, prized for their long-term stability and immunity to electrical noise, and foil strain gauges for higher-frequency monitoring. Each sensor type can be customized: specify your range, cable length, or even the mounting method to suit borehole installation, surface attachment, or embedment in massive pours. Typical models feature stainless steel construction and IP68 waterproof ratings, allowing them to function submerged in groundwater or embedded in dam monitoring systems. Temperature compensation comes standard in our vibrating wire units, so you get strain readings that aren’t thrown off by daily thermal swings. For projects that need a complete picture, our sensors integrate with Kingmach data loggers and third-party SCADA systems. We ship globally and provide pre-sale technical consultation to verify sensor selection against your project’s expected strain levels, ensuring you get a sensor that stays within its optimal measurement range. After delivery, our support team can assist with installation best practices and troubleshooting. Given the cost of the structures these sensors protect, investing in the right strain sensor isn’t an expense—it’s a calculation that often pays for itself before the first crack ever forms.
