Fiber Bragg grating strain sensors employ fiber optic principles for strain detection. These sensors possess great sensitivity and reliability, which explains their growing popularity across various engineering and monitoring applications. The os3100 is a spot-welded or epoxy-mounted optical strain gage based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. Its stainless steel carrier holds the FBG in tension, using no epoxy. What are Optical Strain Sensors? Optical strain sensors (or strain gauges) are sensors for compressive and/or tensile mechanical strain (deformation) which are based on optical technology — in most cases, on fiber optics. They are easy to install, immune to electromagnetic interferences and can also be used in highly explosive atmospheres.
