Recently we have had the privilege of working with a few customers on complex force sensing applications with extensive performance and quality requirements. The applications required continuous sensor operation and measurement performance while subjected to extremely harsh environmental and loading conditions.

Strainsert takes great pride in providing our customers with custom force sensor solutions and providing a reliable product that is designed and manufactured for years of productive service. Our dedication to addressing unique customer requirements and operating conditions results in sensor designs that allow our customers to confidently move forward using Strainsert sensors as a long-term solution for their applications.

Our most recent sensor qualification testing performed by independent accredited testing labs includes:

• 1500PSI Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: Operation without performance degradation after exposure.
• Ingress Protection High Pressure Washdown Test: IPX6 verification in accordance with IEC 60529 standards.
• MIL-STD-810 Testing
  • Bench Handling Shock
  • Vibration
  • Transportation Shock
  • High Temperature Cycling
  • Low Temperature Cycling
  • Low Temperature Exposure
  • Transit Shock
• Magnetic Field Operating
• EMI/EMC Operating
• Inclination
• Electrostatic Discharge
• Dielectric Withstanding Voltage

Demanding engineering design and quality requirements can be difficult to meet on a custom first build and many times one or more design iterations are required, and lead to increasing costs and delivery schedules.  Our products “as initially built” for these tough applications passed every one of the tests on the first run with zero defects noted in operation, performance or degradation to design.

These successful results help further verify our design practices, sensor operation and measurement performance, product quality, and meet our goals, making it a huge win for our team and our customers. Strainsert combines our considerable design capabilities with our experience to address the needs of continuous operation in various harsh environments.
