Gefran Tie-Bar Strain Sensors GE1029

Press-on strain sensors measures the surface-strain directly at the mounting location, similar to bonded strain. The GE1029Tie Bar Strain Sensor presses strain gages under the stainless protective foil that strongly onto the cylindrical surface to be measured that friction replaces the bonding normally used to fix strain gages. The mounting with the stainless steel straps is very fast, and the strain gage is protected. The sensor can not be overloaded. The sensors do not need to be recalibrated once they have been replaced or remounted. There is a different pair of steel straps necessary for each tie bar diameter outside the tolerance of ± 2mm. They need a cyclical reset (for cycles >5min.). Our amplifier can handle the occuring large offset range
