Non-contact linear encoder for bridges

Non-contact measurement of bridge expansion and contraction over long distances with high precision.

In the bridge engineering industry, it is important to accurately monitor the expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes and loads in order to maintain the safety and durability of structures. Traditional measurement methods have faced challenges such as site constraints and high maintenance burdens. Our non-contact linear encoders support long-distance measurements and are maintenance-free due to their magnetic design. By accurately grasping the expansion and contraction of bridges and detecting structural anomalies early, we contribute to safety management. 【Application Scenarios】 - Monitoring bridge expansion and contraction - Measuring structural changes due to temperature variations - Aging diagnosis 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improved safety through non-contact measurement - Reduced maintenance costs - Long-term maintenance of structural integrity
