Pre-wired Strain Gauges: Fast, Safe and Convenient to Use

Leave the soldering to HBK and avoid a potential source of error by ordering pre-wired strain gauges. HBK has set up a “fast lane” service for small orders, which helps provide you the strain gauge you need with the cable of required length within only 10 days.

HBK strain gauges comply with current RoHS requirements, and new materials have been used in making the stranded connection wires more flexible and easier to use. TPE insulated cables allow the use in a temperature range between -40°C and 120°C.

Advantages

Fast installation
Increased reliability
Fluoropolymer-insulated stranded wire (with non-stick properties)
Temperature compensation for most materials
Cable length from 0.5 m to 10 m
RJ11 connectors for the CANHEAD amplifier system
Grid length from 0.6 mm to 10 mm
Strain gauges with 3- and 4-wire configurations
Stickers for simplified parameterization and documentation

Simplified Documentation and Parameterization

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:

QR code that directly links to the data sheet of the respective strain gauge
The product and production batch numbers
The k-factor and a additional space for your notes
QR code containing the values of the individual strain gauge to simplify computer-aided parameterization or documentation with a scanner

Please note: newly produced strain gauges all come with the sticker in stock, strain gauges still in stock do not have this feature yet.
