Gauge lengths of 0.2 - 8.0mm are available in configurations including stacked, double and triple rosettes, with either epoxy or polyimide coating.

StrainSense is distributing encapsulated and leaded strain gauges from NMB Minebea.

Gauge lengths of 0.2 - 8.0mm are available in configurations including stacked, double and triple rosettes, with either epoxy or polyimide coating.

They are suitable for research and test applications from aerospace and automotive to structure testing.

The range of more than 50 gauges complements NMB's existing product line-up of transducer gauges which includes full-bridge patterns and modulus compensation resistors.

Anthony Cross, Managing Director of StrainSense, said "NMB Minebea products are widely recognised as delivering high levels of accuracy at a very competitive price with ready availability".

"We anticipate significant interest in this new range of gauges for stress analysis, from a wide variety of sectors, where accurate analysis of stress is crucial to successful engineering and product development".
