VY full bridge strain gauges (SGs) have 4 measuring grids, which are arranged so that each is offset to the next at an angle of 90°. Typical applications for full bridge SGs include measurements on tension/compression bars and torsion bars and determining shear stresses as they occur in shear beams.

With types VY1 (0°/90° T full bridge) and VY4 (shear/torsion full bridge) we offer you strain gauges (SG) in various geometries and sizes, each available with temperature responses adapted to the following materials:

Ferritic steel (10.8 ppm/K; 6.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 1
Aluminum (23 ppm/K; 12.8 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 3
Austenitic steel (16 ppm/K, 8.9 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 5
Silica/composite (0,5 ppm/K; 0.3 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 6
Titanium and gray cast iron (9 ppm/K; 5.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 7
Plastic (65 ppm/K; 36.1 ppm/°F); temperature matching code: 8

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 120 and 350 Ohms
Measuring grid consists of constantan, measuring grid carrier is polymide
Fast delivery for preferred strain gauge types - available from stock!

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
