The mountable strain sensor MS-01 makes use of the intrinsic strain sensitivity of the FBG in order to measure the displacement between its anchoring points. The FBG is fixed inside a ruggedized housing, which is mounted on a structure by using two anchoring points. The sensor is configured so that the distance between both anchoring points is typically 60 mm. The sensor is connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible.
