Baumer’s DSRK strain probe is said to be setting new standards in tie bar strain measurement. Retaining the measuring performance of its predecessor, the DSRH with Strain-Mate technology, the DSRK uses the glued strain gauge principle. Its stainless steel measuring head is highly-resistant to impacts and guarantees repeatability and long-term stability. Containing no elastomers, it can be used at high ambient temperatures up to +85°C, and does not require subsequent recalibrations. The measuring head geometry including a stable tension mechanism simplifies installation and limits damage risk. The DSRK strain probe is available in 16-mm and 20-mm diameters and lengths of 240 mm to 2,000 mm. All options are available with a 0 to 10V or 4-mA to 20-mA output.
