We provide a range of measurement and control products that can be supplied individually or as part of a wider monitoring system.
We can advise on the systems required, and develop bespoke systems where required for a diverse range of sectors including aerospace, geotechnical investigation and industrial and process.
Geotechnical instrumentation
We offer expert support for all aspects of geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring, together with supplying a comprehensive range of Geokon instrumentation.
Our expert team can provide offer expert knowledge and guidance on all geotechnical instrumentation from your initial enquiry through to your project’s completion.
In addition, as an agent of Geokon Inc, we are able to supply an extensive range of industry leading measurement tools, including inclinometers, crackmeters, piezometers, extensometers, tiltmeters and earth pressure cells.
Torque measurement
With extensive experience and knowledge in torque measurement, our rotary torque transducers offer a high level of accuracy and require less space to operate than traditional in-line transducers.
Our solutions are typically bespoke and engineered to specific customer requirements.
GET IN TOUCH
We have a wide range of options available, from wireless torque transducers to specialist solutions offering dynamic data acquisition. With a variety of output options, including digital (RS232/RS485) and Analogue (4-20mA – 0-10V), we can adapt a torque solution to suit customer requirements.
Benefits of torque transducers:
- Highly accurate
- Simple in-line installation
- Bespoke, tailor-engineered solutions
- Range up to 100 kNm
Tri-axial accelerometers
The Compact wired Tri-axial Accelerometer (4-20mA) sensor is a low noise, low drift, 3‐Axis MEMS accelerometer, designed for use in both indoor and harsh outdoor environments. Ideal for systems integrators, universities and organisations with their own maintenance or monitoring teams.
- Rugged construction ‐ IP67 gel filled metal flanged box prevents in‐situ damage or degradation, prolonging monitoring system life
- Test function ‐ Electromechanically generates a test force to ensure sensor is working correctly and that installation wiring is operational
- Easy mounting – Enclosure incorporates mounting holes for easy fixing to structures, to reduce installation time
The Compact wired Tri-axial Accelerometer (4-20mA) sensor is a low noise, low drift, 3‐Axis MEMS accelerometer, designed for use in both indoor and harsh outdoor environments. Ideal for systems integrators, universities and organisations with their own maintenance or monitoring teams.
It is rugged, compact and low power, making it suitable for many applications, including structural health monitoring and condition monitoring. Typical applications for the technology include:
- Bridge testing to understand vibration response
- Longer term structural health monitoring of bridges and buildings
- Offshore wind monitoring – understand tower movement and condition
- Detection of seismic tremors
The sensor includes a test function, which generates an internal test force to check installation and correct operation.

Rugged Footswitch
It is rugged, compact and low power, making it suitable for many applications, including structural health monitoring and condition monitoring. Typical applications for the technology include:
- Bridge testing to understand vibration response
- Longer term structural health monitoring of bridges and buildings
- Offshore wind monitoring – understand tower movement and condition

The sensor includes a test function, which generates an internal test force to check installation and correct operation.
With no moving parts, our rugged footswitch’s function is unaffected by exposure to weather, water, salt and other abrasive materials making them ideal for long term use in arduous environments. They also require little to no maintenance, providing significant cost saving benefits over the life of the system.
Incorporating stable stainless steel housing, with a marine grade high-tensile stainless steel element, the rugged footswitch is sealed to IP67/IP68 as standard and includes a protected signal cable. Load, applied to an element in the normal way, causes stress and the resulting strain is sensed by strain gauges.
The electrical signal from the strain gauge is monitored and when a pre-defined applied load is reached, a signal passes to a trip level to provide switch function. The unit can also be used for variable speed control for electric motors.
Benefits of the rugged footswitch:
- Designed and manufactured in the UK for high quality assurance
- Robust construction for use in hostile environments
- Easy to install, operate and transport
- Engineered for long-term service and low maintenance
- Supplied with full certificate of calibration
- Significant cost saving benefits
Available options:
- Cabled and wireless options
- Safe and hazardous area options
- Environmentally sealed to IP67 or IP68
