Cleveland Electric Laboratories (CEL) products

Cleveland Electric Laboratories (CEL) is a family-owned business that has been serving our customers since 1920 by proudly providing top-quality products, excellent customer service and exceptional attention to critical details. From our earliest days of servicing electric meters for the rail industry to our current complete line of thermocouple product offerings and advanced technologies, CEL always has placed the highest importance on serving the needs of customers while focusing on quality, efficiency and integrity.

MgO thermocouples and base metal thermocouples are all manufactured with the highest industry standards. Typically used in heat treating, molten metal, plastics and other high temperature processes for temperature monitoring, System Accuracy Tests, and more. Offered in a variety of sheath materials, diameters, and configurations, the data sheets are representative of the products we provide. For your special requirements, please contact our Sales Department.

CEL manufactures temperature and pressure mechanical instrumentation for use throughout the turbine engine test and development industry. Through strict process control, all rakes and probes are manufactured to critical tolerances, thereby ensuring repeatable and accurate data for your test and development programs. These products can be designed by our engineering team or we will build to customer specifications.

The FiberStrike Perimeter Security system provides an invisible barrier of intrusion detection for applications ranging from corporate to military institutions to an entire country’s border. Multiple sensing zones are created to insure detection to within a few meters of the security breach. The breach location information is relayed to the proper responders in real-time. The length of the detection zones is completely modifiable to address the true security needs of the client. The system will detect and locate any intrusion attempts including but not limited to any impact, drilling, climbing and digging, on or around a secure area.

FiberStrike® fiber optic interlock switches are the most advanced solution for monitoring the status of virtually any access portal (manholes, hand holes, doorways, vaults and power grids) today. Benefiting from the nearly limitless working distances allowed by fiber optics, these interlock switches can be networked over a wide perimeter while taking advantage of existing standard communication fiber networks. Detecting and locating any attempts to cut, break, open, tamper, or intrude any secure area.

LCM-940 sensing platforms, developed and patented by Cleveland Electric Laboratories, are an effective solution for detecting the presence of pedestrians in specific locations. LCM-940 platforms are part of the FiberStrike suite of fiber optic sensing solutions made by Cleveland Electric Laboratories. FiberStrike sensing systems use light to sense position or movement; FiberStrike sensors contain no electronic components, require no electrical power and radiate no signals. They cannot be bypassed without detection, and are immune to interference and environmental effects that can plague electrically-based sensors.

CEL’s Fiber Optic sensors are a great fit for the Oil & Gas Industries because of the ease in measuring distributed pressure and temperature variations over a network over time. They are an excellent tool for monitoring equipment, pipelines, ships and storage facilities. They provide real-time data and can be monitored on site or remotely. They can provide useful information in the harsh environments inside oil and gas pipelines and equipment.

CSP FiberShear Direct Connect Technology protects cabling infrastructure by preventing stress applied to the cable in a typical hard wired connection. CSP allows the cable to be control sheared at the base of the cabinet or structure, preventing stress on both the cable in the ground and the cable connecting to the electrical device. This innovative technology guarantees that all cabling infrastructure remains intact in the event of an accident and enables cabinet or device restoration to take place within minutes of the equipment being reset. This patent pending, made in the USA, innovative device was designed to eliminate patch cords, redundant maintenance and additional failure points, ultimately saving cost.

The integrity of a structure may critically depend on proper installation and continued proper tensioning of the fasteners used to join the components of the structure. Improper tensioning of a fastener during installation, subsequent extreme loading, vibration, corrosion or severe environments can cause a fastener to yield, potentially leading to structural failure. Maintaining appropriate tension in fasteners may be a vitally important factor in maintaining the integrity of a structure. Brainy Bolts, developed and patented by Cleveland Electric Laboratories (CEL), are part of the FiberStrike® family of innovative sensing solutions.
