This product is a supporting installation fixture for OFSCN® fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensors, produced by DCYS. It is used for the installation and fixation of OFSCN® FBG strain sensors, FBG stress sensors, FBG displacement sensors, FBG Pipeline Pressure Sensor, and other products such as serially connected FBG temperature sensors. The fixture has the characteristics of small deformation, easy use and flexible installation. In addition to conventional screw installation, it can also be installed by welding, gluing(surface mounting), cable tie binding and clamps.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.ofscn.net/fbg-products/fixtures-01
This topic provides a comprehensive overview of the installation options available for OFSCN® fiber optic sensors. As the post indicates, the choice of fixture is critical for ensuring the accurate transmission of physical parameters (like strain, stress, or displacement) from the target structure to the FBG sensor.
Technical Overview of OFSCN® Installation Fixtures
The OFSCN® Installation Fixture is designed to support various sensor types, including the OFSCN® Alloy Tube Packaged Fiber Bragg Grating strain sensor and the OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Displacement Sensor.
Depending on your engineering environment, these fixtures support four primary installation methods:
- Bolting/Screw Mounting: Ideal for removable or adjustable setups on mechanical structures.
- Welding: Best for long-term monitoring of steel structures or high-temperature pipelines (up to 300°C), ensuring zero creep.
- Gluing (Surface Mounting): Suitable for composite materials or surfaces where welding/drilling is prohibited.
- Binding/Clamping: Used for cylindrical objects like cables or small-diameter pipes.

Technical Selection Advice
When selecting a fixture, the primary technical consideration is the mechanical coupling between the sensor and the substrate. For instance:
- For Strain Measurement: Welding or high-strength epoxy is recommended to prevent signal loss through the interface.
- For Displacement Measurement: The fixture must allow for the specific stroke range of the OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Displacement Sensor.
If you are planning a specific monitoring project, please feel free to describe your installation environment (e.g., substrate material, temperature range, and space constraints) so we can suggest the most reliable mounting strategy.
