Our RS Pro strain gauges have been created and designed to measure the strain and force of an item, each foil strain gauge has a laminated surface with 30 mm integral leads. The gauge sticks to an item, as it deforms the electrical resistance changes - this process can sometimes be referred to as the "gauge factor". Our RS Pro strain gauges can be used in a multitude of applications for strain measurement, such as keypads, medical devices and automotive products.
Features & Benefits
• They are suitable for measurement of both static and dynamic applications • Reliable, trustworthy reading - through their low sensitivity to excessive noise and vibrations • Wide temperature range • Clear alignment marks • Can be affixed with epoxy or cyanoacrylate adhesive • Little to no effect on test objects whilst measuring • Both surfaces are completely covered with laminate, ensuring that the gauge grids are protected from any external damage • Each strain gauge has been fitted with leads, enabling the gauges to be handled with ease
Note
• Temperature compensation for steel with red backing • Temperature compensation for aluminium with blue backing
