W A displacement transducers used for taking measurements at trackside experiments for Austrian Railways Austrian Railways: Measurements at trackside experiments Inductive transducers can be used in even the severest conditions, such as on this stretch of track at Brixental in Austria. Measuring the forces and moments that rail vehicles exert on a curved section of track meant that over hundred displacement transducers and acceleration transducers each and several hundred strain gages had to be installed on the tracks. HBM displacement transducers occupied a central role in all this.Flexibility on the site Important criteria for selecting HBM displacement transducers were their ruggedness, size, measurement properties (an accuracy of 0.2%, 500 Hz test frequency) and price. The W A10L was c
