On the request of many customers we have compiled an assortment of our most popular transducer gages. This selection includes the most commonly used patterns. Preference types are indicated by a gray-shaded background. These types are normally available with a short delivery time. > In addition to the range in this catalog, we have an archive of hundreds of other strain gage designs which are ready for use. If we cannot fulfil your demands with one of these patterns, a dedicated project team will design customized gages to meet your needs, whether you need a gage that is optimized for...

Several curing procedures are performed under carefully controlled con-ditions throughout the production process. A number of quality checks and optical inspections are also carried out at various stages of produc- tion. > All strain gage manufacturing is accomplished in an ultra-modern production plant in Darmstadt, Germany. We additionally perform the finishing of sheets produced in the Darmstadt facility at our brand new factory in Suzhou, China. The production capacity of our factories in Darmstadt and Suzhou hasgrown rapidly over the years. Significant investments have been made at...

This chapter provides background information about strain gage construction, materials and options for HBM strain gages. Nickel Nickel is used for the manufacture of foil-based resistors for compensating the temperature of the zero point and the span of a transducer. Its tempera- ture coefficient of resistance is 4.9 x 10 Modco > Modco is an alloy of nickel and chromium. The gage factor is around 2.2, thereby enabling a slightly higher output signal of the transducer. Modco has a higher specific resistance than constantan and is often used for high- resistance gages. For most applications...

Peek Options for strain gages Polyetheretherketone (Peek) is a more flexible backing, and is thus highly suitable for application on surfaces with a small radius. Peek has creep properties which are sufficient for most applications and offers excellent resistance to humidity. In addition to our standard program of open-faced and encapsulated gages, we offer several options, available on request:Nickel-plated copper leadsPolyurethane-insulated copper lead wires (in customized lengths) Teflon-insulated lead wiresSelf-adhesive versions, the so-called stick-onԔ strain gage, which is discussed...

Experience Benefits The stick-on system is an innovation which has been extensively tested. It has been used in HBM transducer production for many years. It has been applied successfully in high-accuracy transducers and mass-produced, low- cost sensors. Strain gages with the stick-on option have a thin, consistent adhesive layer. This facilitates high-quality bonding which is one of the reasons for the excellent measurement properties of the gage.Advantages:One working step is saved during application of the gage. Any risk of contamination, as well as uncertainty regarding the pot life and...

Positioning and fixing of stick-on strain gages Fixing the strain gage is performed using polyimide, heat-resistant tape, available from HBM. Clamping and curing Cover the strain gage application with Teflon foil and some silicone-rubber, pressure-balancing pads Apply clamping pressure of 20 - 35 N/cm > 2 Apply heat at a warm-up rate of 2.5 K/min (under pressure), from room temperature up to 165C (329аF)Cure for 3.5 h at 165C (329аF) Cool down (under pressure) to room temperature Post cure (without pressure) for 1 h at 165C (329аF) > Adhesive material:Hot-curing adhesive on the basis of...
