Description

DPS40 Pivot Stem Dendrometer

The sensor is designed with respect to easy and fast installation. It is fastened on the measured object by three pressure levers; the central jib turns the rotary position sensor proportionally to the object diameter. Adherence pressure is set as a compromise between the influence on plant tissues and installation stability. The bearing of the position sensor is carefully shaped for minimal effect of temperature and axial forces.

Each sensor is individually calibrated in 100 points over the whole range for excellent sensor linearity.

  • Pivot-based sensing
  • Sensors are individually calibrated in mm of diameter
