CA

Part Number Breakdown

Description

The CA strain gauge is a strain gauge designed with 3 linear strain gauges. Unlike BB strain gauges, CA strain gauges are oriented in 45° to help simplify installation in special applications.

Features

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

Applications

  • Stress analysis
  • Transducer construction
