Model:GF series Low elastic strain gauge
Use:These strain gauges are suited for the measurement on materials such as plastics, which have low elastic modulus compared to metals.
These
strain gauges are suited for the measurement on materials such as plastics,
which have low elastic modulus compared to metals. The specially designed grid
pattern reduces the stiffening effect of strain gauge on the specimen. This
series is available with self-temperature-compensation for materials having
coefficient of thermal expansion of 50 or 70 ×10-6 strain/℃.
New series of strain gauges named GOBLET are added to this series. They
are compliant with RoHS 2 Directive 2011/65/EU and supplied with CE
marking. Even though lead-free solder is used in the GOBLET gauges, they
show better performance than conventional strain gauges owing to the adoption
of unique gauge pattern. Extension leadwires with CE marking are also
available.
