Basic equipment Strain gauges Accessories

You need these accessories to apply strain gauges.

 

adhesive

Cyanoacrylate adhesive, specially designed for stress analysis and for building prototypes, as well as for installing strain gauges "on site".

Consists of cyanoacrylate and catalyst.

Teflon foil

Separating film is required when gluing between "thumb" and "strain gauge"

learn more

Cleaning cloth

Cleaning cloth, soaked in 70% alcohol and 30% DI water. The nonwoven fabric (cellulose polyester) is "lint-free" and suitable for cleanroom classes (recommendation): ISO 5-9, GMP C-D. 50 cloths in a resealable bag.

learn more

Rosin Solvent

Mixture of isopropyl alcohol and toluene. For removing flux residues, also for local cleaning of adhesive surfaces, for removing silicone residues. Warning: Harmful to health, wear gloves.

learn more

Cotton swabs

4x25 cotton swabs, lint-free. For local cleaning of the adhesive surface or the strain gauge, or for cleaning the strain gauge soldering points, for removing flux residues with the help of "Rosin Solvent"

learn more

Kapton Tape

Temperature-resistant adhesive tape for fixing and adjusting the strain gauges during the bonding process.

learn more

Eraser pencil

For cleaning the strain gauge connection surfaces before soldering or for adjusting RAE and RBAE resistors. The eraser pencil is used to roughen the constantan or nickel-iron surfaces of the strain gauge for soldering and to remove oxide layers.

learn more

Solder

(Lead-containing) solder, suitable for use in development and testing. Not for use in production. Contains sufficient flux, no additional flux is required.

learn more

Soldering terminals

The soldering terminals are glued at a distance of 1 to 5 mm from the strain gauge. They serve as soldering surfaces for the internal wiring of the bridge circuit and for soldering on the connecting cable.

The CEG (epoxy) version has an epoxy resin carrier (robust) and is particularly suitable for flat surfaces. The CPF version has a polyimide carrier (flexible) and is particularly suitable for curved surfaces.

The "d" variant is specifically for 3-wire connections.

Size 50 is suitable for grid sizes 1.5 mm to 3 mm.

Enameled wire

Copper enameled wire in 4 different colors for the internal wiring of strain gauges.

Inexpensive alternative to 134-AWN. The insulation resistance is ensured by avoiding sharp edges, by taping sharp edges with PI adhesive tape, and especially by priming and then fixing CU enameled wires with M-Coat A.

learn more

Transparent covering varnish

Cover varnish is used to insulate copper enameled wire from the metallic deformation body, to cover the strain gauge and to fix the wiring with copper enameled wire.

learn more

Silicone Transparent

The transparent silicone TSE-397 offers light mechanical protection and good protection against moisture. It is neutral, has little odor and can be used in conjunction with electronic components and strain gauges.

learn more

Covering film ABM-75

The ABM-75 covering film offers good mechanical protection and very good protection against moisture, especially for outdoor applications and long-term tests. It can be combined with masking varnish, but not with silicone. When applying several masking layers, it is important to ensure that each additional layer completely covers the previous one with excess. Complete curing of, for example, M-coat-A over 24 hours or three hours at 60 degrees in a temperature cabinet must be guaranteed.
