DY Strain Gauges with 2 Parallel Measuring Grids for Measurements on Bending Beams
DY strain gauges have two measuring grids arranged parallel to each other. Typical applications for these strain gauges (SGs) include measurements on bending beams.
With types DY1 and DY4 we offer you strain gauges (SG) in various geometries and sizes, each available with temperature responses adapted to the following materials:
Insert the temperature matching code in place of the placeholder “x” to get the ordering number of the strain gauge you need. Strain gauges marked with a # symbol are only available matched to aluminum, ferritic and austenitic steel
Strain gauges available in 350 Ohms Measuring grid consists of constantan, measuring grid carrier is polymide Fast delivery for preferred strain gauge types - available from stock!

List of accessories available for all variants of this family
To optimize the measuring point documentation each strain gauge includes two stickers which can be placed next to the measuring point and near the measuring amplifier. Benefit from the parameter information directly in the measurement setup:
Please note: newly produced strain gauges all come with the sticker in stock, strain gauges still in stock do not have this feature yet.
