XY Torsion/Shear Strain Gauges with 2 Measuring Grids for Measurements on Torsion Bars and Determining Shear Stresses

Types XY1, XY2 and XY4 are V-shaped strain gauges (SGs) with 2 measuring grids arranged at an angle of about 45° to the SG axis. Typical applications for these strain gauges include measurements on torsion bars and determining shear stresses as they occur in shear beams in the area of neutral fibers.

With types XY1, XY2 and XY4 we offer you strain gauges (SG) in various geometries and sizes, each available with temperature responses adapted to the following materials:

• Ferritic steel (10.8 ppm/K; 6.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 1
• Aluminum (23 ppm/K; 12.8 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 3
• Austenitic steel (16 ppm/K, 8.9 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 5
• Silica/composite (0,5 ppm/K; 0.3 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 6
• Titanium and gray cast iron (9 ppm/K; 5.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 7
• Plastic (65 ppm/K; 36.1 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 8
• Molybdenum (5.4 ppm/K; 3.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 9

Insert the temperature matching code in place of the placeholder “x” to get the ordering number of the strain gage you need. Strain gauges with # characterized are only available in matches for aluminum, ferritic and austenitic steel

Strain gauges available in 120 and 350 Ohms

Measuring grid consists of constantan, measuring grid carrier is polymide
