About AMOS Sensoren & Meßtechnik

AMOS Sensoren & Meßtechnik from Mannheim designs sensors and electronics for measuring physical quantities such as displacement, force, pressure, inclination, torque and acceleration. The product range includes accelerometers (including for crash tests), pressure transducers, force transducers in miniature and industrial formats, displacement sensors, torque transducers and inclination sensors, as well as electronics, digital displays, cables and connector systems. The transducers are based on technologies such as foil and semiconductor strain gauges, resistive chip sensors, LVDT/RVDT, piezoelectric, capacitive and servo-based measuring principles. All assemblies are available in industrial and miniature versions or to customer specification; all models include the associated evaluation electronics. In the special products segment, the company offers fiber-optic pressure transducers for combustion engines and gas turbines with a front-flat stainless steel diaphragm and temperature use up to +350 °C. Applications are found in the automotive industry, motorsport, crash and driving tests, test benches, aerospace, materials testing, the textile industry, biomechanics and process engineering. In addition, strain gauge application, consulting and accessories such as mounting fixtures are offered.
