Strain Gauge Transducer
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10811
Strain Gauge Transducer (code EL-MAILE-10811) is a strain measurement module in which four strain gauges bonded to a stainless steel cantilever beam show the micro strain produced by known loads. The 300 × 28 × 2.5 mm beam takes up to 1 kg through a loading pan and 100 g dead weights, and a digital 3½ digit indicator, with potentiometer bridge balancing and 10 V DC bridge excitation, reads up to ±1999 counts.

What Is the Strain Gauge Transducer Used For?
A cantilever fixed at one end bends when a weight hangs from its free end, stretching one surface and compressing the other; strain gauges bonded there change resistance with that strain, and four of them wired as a bridge give a usable output signal. In the laboratory students balance the bridge with the potentiometer, add the 100 g weights to the pan one by one up to 1 kg and record the micro strain for each step. The readings can then be compared with values worked out from beam theory using the beam's 300 mm length, 28 mm width and 2.5 mm thickness.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of strain gauge modules required.
- Power supply — whether the module is wanted for 50 Hz or 60 Hz mains at 230 V, single phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the beam made of and how big is it?
The cantilever beam is stainless steel, 300 mm long, 28 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick, and it is mounted on a rigid metal frame.
How many strain gauges are fitted, and of what type?
Four foil type resistance strain gauges, marked 350SL with a Q.L of 3 mm, are bonded to the beam and used in a bridge with 10 V DC excitation.
What loads can be applied?
The beam has a capacity of 1 kg. Loads are applied with a pan and dead weights of 100 g each, supplied as a set of 10.
What reading does the indicator give?
A digital 3½ digit indicator module reads the micro strain in the beam, up to ±1999 counts, after the bridge has been balanced with the potentiometer.
Can it be connected to a data acquisition system?
Its connections are brought out to a connector, and it offers a variety of outputs that are compatible with various data acquisition systems.
What should be included in an export enquiry?
Include the quantity, destination country, port or city of delivery, the delivery terms wanted, such as FOB or CIF, any packing needs and a tender reference if the purchase is under a tender.
