The market offers a wide range of solutions, including strain gauges, piezoelectric sensors, MEMS, optical sensors, and MicroWire. Covering applications from industrial settings to laboratory and testing environments, MicroWire represents a unique solution.
~greenLead~RVmagnetics' MicroWire is a passive, contactless sensor—an element with no direct wiring that can be embedded into materials without compromising their integrity. Depending on specific requirements, MicroWire can measure pressure, strain, torsion, bending, and other mechanical quantities. It is also capable of crack detection within materials and plays a key role in predictive maintenance.
This tailor-made sensing solution offers advantages such as compact size, extended range, chemical resistance, and thermally independent measurements. It can withstand material deformation, allowing for MicroWire elongation of up to 2%. Contactless data acquisition can be performed through materials and, under optimal conditions, at distances of up to 5-6cm. RVmagnetics also provides the option to use MicroWire as a reliable qualitative crack sensor, offering digital feedback on whether structural damage has occurred.
How does micro pressure sensor work?
MicroWire detects mechanical stress by changing its magnetic properties, sensed contactlessly by an external circuit. It enables local strain monitoring, works in harsh environments, and remains thermally stable. You can read more about how the MicroWire pressure sensor works here.
