Strain gauges are sensors that are used to measure force (often weight) via deformations in materials. They consist of a fine, electrically conductive wire or foil that is applied to a substrate and bonded to the surface to be measured.
Maximum reliability in safety-critical applications
As strain gauges are often used in safety-critical applications such as load cells, bridge monitoring or aircraft, reliability and precision are essential for the materials used.
The precision alloys from Isabellenhütte, with their extremely fine diameters and thicknesses as well as minimal and long-term continuous TC, meet precisely the requirements that manufacturers of strain gauges place on the components used.
A low thermal force compared to copper and a low temperature coefficient are decisive in the case of strong heating, such as for an outdoor truck scale.
