Strain gauges provide Advanced Sensors Technology
The new CEA and EA strain gage sensors have been developed for general purpose, static and dynamic stress analysis. They are suitable for a broad range of use cases, which include structural health monitoring, autonomous vehicles, aviation, robotics & automation, smart load cells, and condition monitoring.
Advanced Sensors Technology provides tangible specification and manufacturing process improvements, along with industry-exclusive strain gage sensor design techniques. Using Advanced Sensors Technology, the two new strain gauge ranges are constructed with tighter tolerances and feature improved gauge-to-gauge consistency.
The CEA-Series of universal strain gages provide constantan grid that is completely encapsulated in polyimide. The device features large, rugged copper-coated tabs. The CEA range is easy to use in applications, reduces installation time, is highly reliable and offers low total cost of installation. The gauges are manufactured with constantan foil with a tough, flexible, polyimide backing. The EA-series features a wide range of options, including strain range from ±3% for gage lengths under 1/8 in (3.2 mm) and ±5% for 1/8 in and over. The new series of strain gauges are a drop-in replacement for traditional CEA and EA strain gages.
Ron Zukerman, Sr. Manager of Sales & Marketing for Micro-Measurements Advanced Sensors, said: “In today’s demanding world of product and structural design, the use of technically superior strain gages can provide significant advantages to the engineering development process, and offer improvements in material savings, weight, reduction, failure prevention, and shortened design-to-development time. Payoffs like these can make a difference in bottom-line profitability for companies that deploy Experimental Stress Analysis (ESA) in their engineering process.”
