Vibrating Wire Strain Gauges for Bridge, Tunnel & Dam Monitoring: Complete Selection Guide
The global construction industry is experiencing a massive surge in large-scale infrastr...
Wireless Strain Sensors for Field-Ready Structural Monitoring
wireless strain sensor
Adding wires to a strain gauge installation can turn a straightforward job into a cable management headache. Wireless strain sensors remove that hassle while still delivering the data engineers need for structural assessments, load tests, and long-term health monitoring. Kingmach has been supplying geotechnical instruments for projects of all scales, and our wireless strain sensors reflect that experience – they are built to work in the conditions where conventional wired setups often fail. From bridge piers to deep excavation bracing, these sensors help teams collect strain readings without spending extra time on conduit runs or worrying about cable damage. Because we maintain our own manufacturing, we can adjust probe length, communication protocol, or sampling rate to match project specs rather than forcing a standard unit into a non-standard job.
Technical Detail
Configured around process stability, mold life, and long-term uptime.
Wireless strain sensors eliminate the need for long cable runs between the measurement point and the data logger, which cuts installation time and reduces points of failure. Our design uses a ruggedized housing rated for outdoor exposure, with internal signal conditioning that keeps noise low even when lead wires are minimal. Most units support common wireless protocols, so integration with existing monitoring networks is straightforward – data can flow directly to a central logger or a cloud platform. Kingmach offers these sensors as part of a wider geotechnical portfolio that includes inclinometers, piezometers, and load cells. That matters because a single project often needs multiple sensor types, and sourcing them from one manufacturer simplifies compatibility and support. We also provide calibration services traceable to national standards, plus after-sales technical assistance for troubleshooting in the field. For large or specialized deployments, our engineering team can adjust measurement range, gauge length, or mounting hardware to fit the application – something off-the-shelf sensors cannot easily do.

Common technical questions
How does a wireless strain sensor transmit data?
Most models use radio frequency communication such as LoRa, Zigbee, or Wi-Fi to send readings to a gateway or datalogger. The choice depends on range, power consumption, and site infrastructure. Kingmach configures the protocol to match your existing system.
Can these sensors be used on concrete and steel surfaces?
Yes. Mounting methods vary by surface – welding is common on steel, while concrete usually requires drilled anchors or epoxy. We provide compatible mounting kits and can advise on surface preparation for reliable long-term bonding.
What is the typical battery life?
Battery life depends on the reporting interval and environmental factors. With periodic readings every few minutes, a unit can run for several months to over a year. Low-power designs and sleep modes help extend service time before battery replacement is needed.
Are the sensors compatible with third-party data loggers?
Many of our wireless strain sensors output standard engineering units over open protocols, making them compatible with widely used loggers and SCADA systems. We also offer a gateway option if you prefer a turnkey data collection setup.
Do I need a license to operate the wireless radios?
Most short-range devices operate in unlicensed ISM bands and do not require a license. However, regulations vary by country; our team can confirm compliance for your location and, if needed, supply units certified for local frequency allocations.
