RS PRO Low Profile Strain Gauge, Compression, Tension Measure, 120Ω

Our RS Pro single strain gauges have been created and designed to measure the strain and force of an item, each strain gauge has a laminated surface with 30 mm integral flying 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 gauge can be used in a multitude of applications for strain measurement, such as keypads, medical devices and automotive products.

• Strain gauges 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 from 30 to +180°C
• 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
• Features a gauge resistance of 120 Ω
• Supplied with two self-adhesive terminal pads
• The dimensions of the gauge are L13 x W4 mm

• Temperature compensation for steel with red backing
• Temperature compensation for aluminium with blue backing
