Measuring strain effectively
With outstanding fatigue resistance, the FS62 strain sensor is the ideal choice for measuring deformation in both small components and large structures.

newLight FS62 Optical Strain Sensor for Static and Dynamic Strain Measurements
The FS62 optical strain sensors of the newLight sensor series are designed to easily retrieve static and dynamic strain measurements for stress analysis in smart materials, machines, components, and other types of structures.

With different encapsulations, materials, and attachment methods, they fulfil the requirements of strain measurements for smart materials testing, laboratory, and structural health monitoring (SHM) applications.

Safe, robust, and durable

• Three types of cable protection: steel reinforcement for demanding environments
• Electrical isolation against explosive atmospheres, high voltage areas, and intense electromagnetic fields white check mark in green circle
• Effective even in hazardous environments

Cost-effective

• Dual lead fibers for connecting a large number of combined sensors in a single optical cable white check mark in green circle
• Easy deployment of large sensing networks with less cabling requirements

High strain resistant

• Sensors produced through-the-coating femtosecond to withstand high strain and fatigue white check mark in green circle
• Accurate measurements even in materials with high levels of strain
