Introduction
In structural and geotechnical monitoring, precision is not just optional—it’s essential. Even microscopic movements can signal the onset of serious structural issues. That’s why Next Industries has engineered a new generation of electric crackmeters, combining high-precision sensing, robust construction, and seamless integration into remote monitoring systems.
How it works: the heart of precision
Each crackmeter is built around a potentiometric displacement sensor. As movements occur, a cursor glides across a conductive film, altering electrical resistance. This creates a precise voltage output—accurate to within 0.01 mm—that reflects every micro-shift, allowing for real-time data collection and deeper structural analysis.
Built for the toughest environments
With an IP68 rating, stainless steel housing, and weather-resistant components, these crack meters are engineered to perform reliably in rain, dust, or underwater conditions. Operating temperatures range from –20 °C to +80 °C, making them suitable for glacier tunnels, coastal viaducts, or desert structures.
Smart installation & integration
Our crackmeters come with self-aligning joints and adaptable mounting accessories, allowing quick, accurate installation on irregular or sloped surfaces. Integration with remote dataloggers and alarm systems transforms them into components of a secure, automated structural health network—collecting data continuously and sending alerts when defined thresholds are crossed.
Who benefits most from electric crackmeters?
- Structural engineers needing high-precision data for analysis.
- Infrastructure owners/operators protecting investments and ensuring safety.
- Consent authorities, needing documented evidence of compliance.
- Construction and geotechnical firms aiming to optimize maintenance and moratorium interventions.
Conclusion
Whether for short-term assessments or permanent installations, Next Industries’ crackmeters offer unmatched accuracy, resilience, and intelligence. Take control of your infrastructure’s structural health.
