Latest Oxygen 7.6 Update
Introduction
Strainsense supply and manufacture a wide range of sensor solutions for monitoring a wide range of Vehicle Dynamic applications for safety, stability and performance. We understand that no application is the same, each environment changes and so should the sensor to withstand with that environment. Over years, we have developed comprehensive technology solutions for the measurement of Position, Vibration, Inclination, Pressure & Force all available with ISO 17025 calibration (on request).
- Body Movement, Stability, Suspension & Motion: DC Accelerometers, Linear Potentiometers, String Pots
- Dynamic Structural Behaviour/NVH: AC Accelerometers
- Ride/Pedestrian Comfort: Seat Pad Accelerometer & Analyser
- Brakes/Coolant & Fuel: Combined Pressure/Temperature Sensors
- Data Acquisition: NEXDAQ, TRIONet & A4
Accelerometers
Essential for Vehicle Dynamics, the DC MEMS series 4000/5000MF is the pinnacle of performance over a wide temperature range whilst providing a low noise signal and is by far our best-selling solution. The LN has enhanced residual noise however a shorter temperature window. The DC MEMS solutions can be provided with connectors, any cable length, cable splitters, TEDS chips and calibrated to ISO 17025 (on request).

Position Sensors
Linear position sensors are commonly used for suspension travel or engine/structural displacement on vehicles/motorbikes. The linear potentiometers are performance grade with high temperature capability (including the rod ends, they wont melt!). Stroke lengths 0-12.5 to 450mm, optional outputs, fixings and diameters. The String Pots are readily used for structural displacements especially in buses/trucks and high sided vehicles. A top tip... use a short stroke length but use an extension cable if the fixing point is far away.

Draw-wire extensions available to utilise the full range of the string pot but spanning a larger distance. The CD-60 & 80 are designed for these extensions by having a stronger spring force & cable thickness.

Pressure Sensors
Engine, hydraulics, coolant & brakes are the life fluids of vehicles. The miniature pressure solutions include options for combined pressure & temperature to 175 Deg C or flush mounted to avoid air entrapment. All are designed to be robust in harsh environments and many custom options including ISO 17025 calibration. General pressure solutions are readily available in a cost effective package.

Force & Torque Sensors
Force sensors are critical in vehicles dynamic applications such as load distribution, traction control, suspension tuning and performance. We can provide custom solutions for your measurement needs including tension/compression, engine mounts, multi-axis, annular, load pins or torque. Torque Sensors can be used for wheel shaft or wheel hubs on test rigs.

Data Acquisition
The NexDAQ is a ‘must have’ portable workhorse for measuring Vehicle Dynamics. Having 8 analogue channels, a multitude of other inputs and expandable by daisy-chaining. Powered by USB or cigarette lighter socket it is a flexible go-to DAQ system used with a laptop having an all aluminium housing with strap down slots. The Trionet and A4 expand the family of mobile solutions, all share hugely powerful software which includes full diagnostic features, FFT, visualisation, analysis and post processing.. expandable and dependable.
