Low elastic strain gauge GF series Low elastic strain gauge
These strain gauges are suited for the measurement on materials such as plastics, which have low elastic modulus compared to metals. The specially designed grid pattern reduces the stiffening effect of strain gauge on the specimen. This series is available with self-temperature-compensation for materials having coefficient of thermal expansion of 50 or 70 ×10-6 strain/℃. New series of strain gauges named GOBLET are added to this series. They are compliant with RoHS 2 Directive 2011/65/EU and supplied with CE marking. Even though lead-free solder is used in the GOBLET gauges, they show better performance than conventional strain gauges owing to the adoption of unique gauge pattern. Extension leadwires with CE marking are also available.
