MMF003236

Strain Gauges

Strain gauges are transducers used to measure strain on a material. They are usually formed as a resistor network, and when the material they are mounted on is subjected to strain, the resistances of the network will change in proportion, providing an accurate measurement of the applied strain. This technology is widely used in many industries, such as aerospace, automotive and process control, to measure strain and provide valuable information about the behavior of the materials being tested. MMF003236 is one of the most popular strain gauges used in these fields.

Application Field

The MMF003236 strain gauge is specifically designed for high accuracy applications that require an exceptionally small strain measuring range. It is mainly used in applications that require a high degree of precision, such as aerospace, automotive and process control. It is ideal for measuring static or dynamic strain in a wide variety of materials, such as metals, plastics, elastomers, composites, and ceramics.

In aerospace applications, strain gauges are used to measure stress on components subjected to high loads, such as rocket motor cases and other pressure vessels and structures. They are also used in manufacturing processes to verify that components are within tolerance limits. The MMF003236 strain gauge is frequently used in the automotive industry to monitor the safety of critical components. It is also widely used in process control to measure the strain of pipes and other components that may be exposed to extreme temperatures or pressures.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MMF003236 strain gauge is based on the Wheatstone bridge. The strain gauge consists of four strain sensitive resistors mounted in a two arm bridge configuration. When the strain is applied, the resistance of the strain sensitive resistors will change, causing a change in the bridge balance. By measuring the voltage at one of the nodes, the amount of strain can be accurately determined. The strain gauge is typically connected to an amplifier to amplify the small voltage change.

The precise accuracy of the MMF003236 strain gauge is achieved through its balanced Wheatstone bridge architecture and its specially selected strain sensitive resistors. The strain sensitive resistors are extremely sensitive to strain and produce a very small output voltage, which requires that the voltage across the gauge be amplified in order to obtain meaningful measurements.
