Description

The AB strain gauge is designed for Torsion and Shear applications. This type is in 1/4 Bridge configuration must be paired with other strain gauges for Shear and Torsional strain measurements.

 

Features

  • Constantan grid material
  • Phenolic base material
  • Polyimide base material (Optional for High Temperature Environments)
  • Wire pre-bonded (Optional)

 

Applications

  • Stress analysis
  • Transducer construction
