Strain gauge load cells & Dataloggers

Our Mobile Measurement Solution consists of two suitcases:

The first suitcase includes data acquisition with a 10-channel Data Logger, the terminals for the Sstrain Gauge Load Cells as well as a voltage supply with normal voltage.
In the second case, there are three Load Cells with a nominal force of 20 kN and a linearity of 0.1%, the connection cables and the type-specific receptacle adapters.

For the measurement, you connect the helicopter through the adapters and the force sensors to a lifting device. The type-specific adapters ensure that the flight pattern is not damaged. The measuring system displays the results of the individual sensors as decimal numbers. The mass center of the helicopter can then be calculated using the geometry of the measuring points and the three measured values. The measured values can either be stored in the data logger or stored on a USB stick and archived.

Helicopter measurement system

4 force transducers, nominal force 20 kN, linearity 0.1%;
3 cables to connect the force transducers to the electronics, length 6 m;
3 adapters for the helicopter;
Electronics case, orange, dimensions 470x360x180 with 5-channel system;
Data logger, 10 channels, with display, removable for external measurements
Power supply 230 VAC/50 ... 60 Hz;
Black case for force transducers and accessories, dimensions 470x360x180 mm.

Advantages of this system

Mobile solution;
The data logger can also be taken out of the case and used for further external measurements;
It can be used to record voltages, temperatures and humidity;
The entire measurement system can be adapted to different flight patterns by exchanging the load cells and adapters;
The solution offers a wide range of applications beyond the specific application in helicopter maintenance.
