(Baumer: Southington, CT) -- With the DSRT strain sensor, Baumer offers a sensor for indirect force measurement that can be used in the packaging industry, engineering, wind energy plants, and many other industrial applications. The DSRT is the smallest strain sensor with the highest resolution (0.01 µε) available on the market. It is offered with measuring ranges from 0–100 µε up to 0–750 µε (micro strain: µm/m).

The strain sensor is suitable for all static and dynamic applications and can be used wherever strains are expected, e.g. for process control in presses and punching machines, for monitoring blade deflection in wind energy plants, or for sheet-metal forming applications in the packaging technology. The indirect force measurement enables the control and traceable documentation of process forces. It also guarantees the repeatability of the individual processes, thus ensuring consistent quality.
