Sensors

ELSTAR has wide experience in supplying sensors chiefly in the area of vibration and Rotating machinery applications. These can be broken down ito three catagories.

 

Polytec offers a wide range of energy-efficient vibrometry systems. Laser-based measurement systems from Polytec are designed to optimize energy use depending on the measurement load. Lower loads result in reduced energy consumption, making the systems highly efficient across a broad range of test conditions.

 

QTec® Product line
imv aserisi
From single-point to full-field measurements. QTec® vibrometers meet the demands of a wide range of vibration analysis tasks. Fast, accurate, and easy to use, they offer advanced measurement technology and flexible application options.

Full-field vibrometers
imv aserisi
Polytec full-field vibrometers measure complex vibrational behavior in a non-contact, non-destructive way using the laser Doppler principle. These tools shorten R&D cycles by providing precise insights into acoustics and dynamics. Visualize Eigenmodes and deflection shapes to enhance FE model validation. Polytec vibrometers are turnkey solutions, with upgrade options for expanding from DC to Megahertz, featuring cutting-edge technologies.
Full-field vibrometers
Microscope-based vibrometers

A series is the “new standard” in vibration testing, with a solid test performance. A series increases the relative excitation force and has a displacement of 51 mmp-p (2 inch stroke) which gives good balance between specification of velocity, acceleration and displacement.

It also provides a maximum of 3.5m/s shock velocity testing, which responds to the demand in lithium battery testing. Rapid creation of a test from a set of pre-defined templates conforming to most international test standards. Simply select the standard required to generate the main test settings.
