Full bridge strain gauges - EB / FG pattern
Full bridge strain gauges
Full bridge strain gauges are called this way because they consist of one backing which supports a full bridge of Wheatstone. This means it has 4 electric grids which can be positioned in all kinds of orientations. It is commonly used for applications where space is limited and a full bridge output signal is desired. Due to the different orientations it can be used for either Uniaxial as Biaxial stress measurement and can be used with linear but also with shear and torque deformation.
All our full bridge strain gauges are temperature and creep compensated, optimized for their intended applications, and offer stable and reliable results. They are carefully selected and manufactured in our state-of-the-art production facility.
We offer two different patterns, we call them Parallel full bridge FG and Full bridge EB. The product pages (see below) include datasheets with all technical specifications, detailing the various variants we offer.
To order your strain gauge(s), use our strain gauge selector. Simply fill in the desired specifications, such as material and dimensions. Once we receive the form, we will contact you to provide further assistance.
At Zemic we supply many variants of these type of strain gauges. For example, they differ from each other in the following characteristics:
- Two different patterns available, we call these patterns EB and FG
- Rated Resistance; for FG pattern: varies from 350 Ohm till 25000 Ohm, for EB pattern: 240 - 2000 Ohm.
- Grid Material; Constantan foil or Karma foil.
- Type of backing material; Modified phenolic, Special Polyimide, Special PEEK film.
- Length of the sensitivity grid in mm
- Temperature compensation (STC)
- Length and material of the wires
