This video demonstrates the process of installing a fiber optic sensor to a substrate for measuring distributed mechanical strain. Fiber optic sensing (FOS) systems can provide high-fidelity distributed strain measurements in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, structural health monitoring, and civil engineering. The process of mounting the fiber optic strain sensor is very similar to the process. This guide walks you through the essential steps and considerations for installing a vibration sensor effectively. The MTI-2100 features advanced fiber-optic non-contact sensor using reflectance electronic technologies for precise measurements of displacement, active vibration control, position, and distance for dynamic measurement in cryogenic, vacuum | high pressure, or in high magnetic field and harsh. The primary rule is position, the sensor should be positioned as close as feasible to the component you intend to monitor, which is usually a bearing. This is where the vibration energy is.
