ELECTRICAL AND VIBRATING WIRE
CRACKMETERS
Crackmeters are intended to monitor movements across surface joints
or cracks, mainly in concrete structures or rocks.

Crackmeter consists of a vibrating wire or potentiometer displacement

transducer housed in a stainless steel telescopic body with two
anchoring points.

These anchors have self-lubrificating ball joints allowing lateral

movements up to ±10° in the orthogonal planes (Y - Z axis) not
influencing the operation of the jointmeter.

APPLICATIONS FEATURES
• Cracks on concrete • 3-D mounting kit available
structures or rock for triaxial displacement
monitoring
• Structural joints like in
concrete dams • Ball joints allow small lateral
movement
• Displacements on pile
bearing • Waterproof up to 100 kPa

• Monitoring of rock faults • Suitable for long term

monitoring

Meet the essential requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
