Strain Gages
Strain gages are sensing elements that electrically
detect micro mechanical changes referred to as "strain."
The KFG series gages use polyimide resin for the base approximately 13 ??m thick.
The KSP series gages are stable-performance semiconductor strain gages usable for general stress measurement and transducers.
The KFW series foil strain gages have the surface covered with a special resin for waterproofing.
The KFW series foil strain gages have the surface covered with a special resin for waterproofing.
The KFGT gages are foil strain gages incorporating a T-type thermocouple for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature.
The KFRP series foil strain gages are self-temperature-compensation gages suitable for strain measurement of composite materials such as CFRP and GFRP.
KFEM series ultrahigh-elongation foil gages can measure strain in elastic to plastic region on structures and are suitable for large strain measurement or rupture tests of metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum) and plastics.
If it is difficult to bond a strain gage to the surface of a bolt for measuring the tightening stress, these gages enable the measurement by embedding into a hole, 2mm diameter, bored through the top head of the bolt.
To obtain good measurement results, the strain gage must be bonded completely to the measuring object.
