Vibrating Wire Sensors
Reliable readings for the forces you can’t afford to miss.
Vibrating wire sensors turn pressure, strain, movement and load into a stable signal. Ackcio carries that signal wirelessly from the instrument to the monitoring view.
One wireless path. Seven ways to measure what matters.
From pore-water pressure to anchor load, choose the instrument that fits the job and keep the data moving without a manual walk-around.
Piezometer
Pore-water pressure is the quiet force behind slope failures, dam incidents and excavation problems.

Surface strain gauge
When you need strain from a steel strut, sheet pile, pipeline or exposed concrete face, mount the gauge directly to the structure and let the change in wire frequency reveal the load path.
Explore sensor
Embedment strain gauge
Some strain you can only measure from within.
Explore sensor
Rebar / sisterbar gauge
In a pile, diaphragm wall or anchor, it is the steel that carries the load.
Explore sensor
Strand meter
Anchor cables, tendons and structural strands gain or lose force over time.
Explore sensor
Crackmeter
Cracks and joints tell you how a structure is moving.
Explore sensor
Load cell
A rock bolt or tieback anchor is only doing its job if it holds its load.

A vibrating wire sensor measures a change in frequency. Ackcio’s wireless system carries that reading to the place where your team can act on it.
Frequency, not a fragile voltage.
A tensioned steel wire vibrates at a resonant frequency. As pressure, strain, movement or load changes the sensing element, the frequency shifts with it.
The BEAM-VW node excites the wire and captures the frequency plus temperature.
Ackcio Mesh carries the reading across above-ground or challenging sites.
Snape turns the signal into a trend, alert or engineering value.
What do you need to know about the site?
The right sensor starts with the physical question. Each sensor page gives the measurement its own clear path from application to product.
Pore-water pressure
Piezometers for dams, embankments, slopes and tailings.
Structural strain
Surface, embedment and rebar gauges for concrete and steel.
Crack & joint movement
Continuous movement trends across critical structures.
Load & force
Strand meters and load cells for anchors, tendons and supports.
Talk through the measurement, not just the model number.
Share the site condition, what is moving and how often you need to see it. We can help map the instrument to the wireless node.
