TML recently presented a significant expansion of its portfolio in the field of strain gauges (SG) for sensor construction. The new variants now allow a free choice between ¼, ½ and full-bridge SG – for maximum flexibility in adapting to individual applications.
In addition, the strain gauges can be optionally equipped with solder pads, which simplifies wiring. For easier application, the strain gauges can now also be pre-coated with heat-curing adhesive.
This innovation is particularly aimed at applications with high demands on sensor geometry and integration speed – for example, in sensor development, prototype construction or even series production.
New series, proven features:
- High mechanical strength and excellent long-term stability
- Excellent linearity across the entire measuring range
- Temperature compensation for various materials such as structural steel, stainless steel or aluminium
- Optional creep compensation, matched to the elastic element
- Available in various grid patterns (single axis, 0°/90° 2-axis, torsion, and more)
The variety is also evident in the carrier materials: depending on the type and temperature requirements, special synthetic resins or heat-resistant polyimide resins are used – with applications up to +200°C.
The advantages at a glance:
- Freely selectable bridge circuit: ¼, ½ or full bridge
- Optionally available with solder pads for easier wiring
- Pre-assembly with heat-curing adhesive possible
- Temperature-compensated for different materials
- Creep behaviour selectable depending on type
- Consistently high TML quality with improved integration flexibility
Typical areas of application for TML's strain gauges in sensor construction can be found wherever mechanical forces need to be measured precisely and reliably. These include force transducers and load cells, pressure sensors, torque transducers, and acceleration and displacement sensors. Strain gauges have proven themselves particularly in OEM sensor integration, in test benches or in the development of special solutions in mechanical and vehicle engineering, medical technology or aerospace technology thanks to their high adaptability and measuring accuracy. They also provide an ideal basis for reliable and reproducible measurements in prototypes or small series in research and development.
