Strain Sensors
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia's foil strain sensors monitor the fatigue loading experienced by tactical aircraft under various conditions of speed, weight and missions configuration. Critical undercarriage structures and control surfaces may be monitored for fatigue damage induced by high-G maneuvers and high stress landings. These sensors are self-temperatures compensating, environmental resistant, have a high output, two active arms and are easily installed. Developed for the demanding requirements associated with tactical military aircraft, they are equally useful performing many of the more common strain measurements encountered in the material testing laboratory. Columbia's foil strain sensors are considered the standard for the industry.

Integrated
Columbia Research Laboratories
Columbia's Integrated Accelerometers are completely self-contained vibration measuring systems having a built-in amplifier within the housing. Low output impedance allows operation directly into standard readout equipment without auxiliary signal conditioning. This type of accelerometer must be powered by a constant current power supply like Columbia's model 5421.
