Strain Gages and Accessories - 6017 Explanations on

HBMs range of strain gages comprises the Y, C, G, K, V series as well as special strain gages. Each series of strain gages features different type series. Many specic- tions are identical for one strain gage series; therefore, in this catalog, the specica- tions of a series are given on the pages preceding the list of individual strain gages. Where the specications of individual strain gages differ from those stated for the other strain gages of a series, these strain gages are provided with a relevant note. The specications and their tolerances are stated in compliance with OIML directive IR62.

The speci�cations

have been determined according to OIML directive IR62. The tolerances are stated per OIML with double standard deviation. If the specied tolerance values of the gage factor, transverse sensitivity, temperature coefficient, and temperature response are halved, the data complies with VDI/VDE directive 2635. Below you will nd further explanations regarding the terms used in the Specications tables.

Connection con�gurations

HBM supplies strain gages with different connection congurations. Choose the conguration that best ts your application and personal preferences - the right connection for everyone. Integrated solder tabs, e.g. LY41
â—� allow direct soldering on the strain gage Big solder tabs with strain relief, e.g. LY1
â—� allow comfortable soldering directly on the strain gage, at the same time providing nearly full mechanical decoupling of solder tabs and strain gages Leads: Ni-plated copper leads uninsulated 0 mm long, e.g. LY11
â—� no direct soldering on the strain gage
â—� for full mechanical decoupling of cables and strain gage
â—� use of separate solder terminals directly on the strain gage required Teon-insulated connection wires (40 mm long), e.g. K-LY41
â—� no soldering on the strain gage
â—� Teon insulation prevents the cable from sticking during installation
â—� solder terminals near the strain gage are required which are also used for the bridge connection PVC-insulated ribbon cable, alternatively with -, - or 4-wire circuit, e.g. K-LY41
â—� cable length as required (0.5 up to 10 m)
â—� no soldering on the measuring point required at all
â—� Teon wire on the strain gage prevents the cable from sticking during installation 12Strain Gages and Accessories
