A variety of sensors are available for checkout by students and instructors. All sensors may be used in conjunction with a LabStation or a portable, data-acquisition system.

Load Cells (Force Transducers)

Tension-only, compression-only, or tension/compression load cells measure the weight of an object or the force within a system.

Accelerometers

Capacitive accelerometers measure frequencies as low as zero hertz, and IEPE (or ICP) accelerometers are great for frequencies more than 10 Hz.

Pressure Transducers

Choose from wet or dry, differential or absolute, psi or in-H20 pressure transducers.

Photoelectric Sensors

Great for use as a non-contact tachometer.

Temperature Transducers

Thermocouples and thermistors are available for checkout or purchase.

Proximity Sensors

Use infrared or inductive proximity sensors to determine the distance to an object.
