Strain gauge LY4X

LY (Linear)

Series LY is the first choice for strain measurements in only one direction. We offer linear strain gauges (SGs) in various geometries and sizes, each available with temperature responses adapted several different materials

  • Strain gauges available in 120, 350, 700 and 1,000 Ohms
  • Measuring grid consists of constantan, measuring grid carrier is polymide
  • Fast delivery for preferred strain gauge types -  available from stock!

With types LY1, LY2, LY4, LY5, LY6, LY7 , LY8 and LY9 we offer you linear strain gauges (SGs) 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

The high-quality, reliable, and flexible strain gauges for experimental stress analysis can be combined perfectly with HBM's DAQ amplifier QuantumX and catman DAQ software for a complete measuring and testing solution. From the sensor to the software: simply "plug and measure".
