Order prewired strain gauges and leave the soldering to HBK. Increase reliability and save time.
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.

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.
