Uniaxial metal foil strain gauges are precision measuring elements composed of a highly sensitive resistor grid. They feature robust construction, excellent flexibility, and high measurement accuracy. Available in 120Ω, 175Ω, 350Ω, or 1000Ω resistance values, they offer insulation resistance up to 10⁴ MΩ, a fatigue life exceeding 10⁷ cycles, and an average thermal output coefficient of 1 μm/m/°C. SUCH metal foil strain gauges are widely used in mechanical measurements, stress analysis, high-temperature melt pressure sensors, and other applications requiring high-precision static or dynamic strain measurements.
Note: Various strain gauge models are available and support for customization. Please check with our customer service for detailed specs and pricing before ordering.
Uniaxial strain gauges measure strain in only one direction (the principal axis) and have a simple structure and are easy to install. Biaxial and triaxial strain gauges can measure strain in two or three directions simultaneously and are commonly used for complex stress field analysis.
The surface being measured should be kept clean, dry, and flat. Avoid strong vibration or high humidity that may affect the bonding quality. If used in a high-temperature environment, a high-temperature strain gauge and specialized adhesive should be used.
Common strain gauges include metal foil, semiconductor, fiber optic, and vibrating wire types.
