newLight FS66HDL Heavy Duty Force Sensor for Pantographs

The FS66HDL Heavy Duty Force Sensor is a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based single axis force sensor, designed to be used under harsh environments, in particular on railway applications.

It is part of the newLight optical sensor line, ready to measure thermally compensated forces up to 500N. The sensor is part of HBK's Optical Pantograph and Overhead Power Lines Measurement System.

 

Safe

  • Fully passive sensor, based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Technology.

Effective even under high voltage of the pantograph.

Robust

  • Ruggedized packing, railway rated cablings and optical connectors.

EN45545 fire safety certified

Highly sensitive

  • Linear sensitivity and thermally compensated with the use of two FBG in an push-pull configuration.

Accurate measurements meeting EN50317 standards for contact force determination.
