The Micro-Measurements brand of Vishay Precision Group Inc. (VPG) announces the introduction of its S5060 Series of Transducer Class multi-grid advanced strain sensors.
- Facilitates reliable, accurate, cost-effective multi-axis force, torque/axial and torsional load measurements
- Applications include use within robotics, factory automation, machinery and tooling, agricultural and off-highway vehicles, and materials testing applications
- Incorporates VPG’s proprietary Advanced Sensors Technology from which a specialty arrangement of both shear and axial half-bridge circuits is configured and installed with a common carrier backing
- Multiple resistance values and gage patterns available in support of diverse array of bending, torque/shear and thrust measurements
- Circuitry pattern may be used to construct both full-torsion bridge and full-Poisson bridge, via installation of just two strain sensors
- Alignment of single pair automatically aligns all other grids installed on common backing for improved grid-to-grid placement accuracy, optimized installation time, and reduced material and solder connection requirements
- Number of required circuit refinements for initial zero balance, as well as temperature compensation for zero balance, are reduced via improvements in resistance tolerance (±0.2%) and grid-to-grid thermal performance matching specifications
- Features minimal alignment and linearity issues
- Recommended supporting accessories include various best-practice surface preparation materials, adhesives, solder terminals, wire, and protective coatings
