Flexible Displacement Meter

The flexible displacement meter consists of a transducer housed in a flexible conduit, allowing installation across joints or on irregular profiles. It is often used for monitoring crack opening, settlement, or convergence in tunnels, slopes, and retaining walls. Kingmach’s version uses stainless steel components and IP67-rated seals for long-term outdoor use. The sensor body is compact, making it easy to mount in tight spaces, and the flexible housing relieves stress on anchor points when structures settle. Common output options include 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, or RS-485, so it integrates with most geotechnical data acquisition systems. Labor time stays low because alignment is forgiving—a practical advantage on busy construction sites. As a mid-range manufacturer, Kingmach focuses on dependable performance without excessive cost. Their engineering team supports custom ranges, special cable lengths, or weatherproof connectors based on project requirements. Global distributors carry standard units, while direct technical support helps with setup and troubleshooting. For large infrastructure programs, Kingmach also bundles these meters with compatible wireless nodes and cloud monitoring, though the meters function equally well with third-party loggers. This flexibility in signal format and physical installation makes the meter a common choice for deformation monitoring where traditional rigid displacement sensors introduce errors from structural rotation.
