VY Full Bridge Strain Gauges with 4 Measuring Grids for Measurements on Tension/Compression Bars and Torsion Bars and for Determining Shear Stresses
VY (Full bridge)
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:
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
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:

측정 지점 문서화를 최적화하기 위해 각 스트레인 게이지에는 측정 지점 옆과 측정 증폭기 근처에 붙일 수 있는 두 개의 스티커가 포함되어 있습니다. 측정 설정에서 직접 매개 변수 정보를 활용할 수 있습니다.
참고: 새로 생산된 스트레인 게이지는 모두 스티커와 함께 제공되며, 기존 재고 스트레인 게이지에는 이 기능이 포함되지 않습니다.
The quality of a strain gauge installation is not only dependent on the strain gauge itself but also on the type of application and its implementation. A perfectly functioning measuring point requires a thorough preparation of the application surface, careful bonding,
