Micro-Measurements Releases Advanced Sensors Technology C4A Series Strain Gages Enabling Easy, No-Solder Installation
July 28 2020 - 8:45AM
Micro-Measurements®, a Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE:VPG)
brand, today announced the expansion of its C4A Series stress
analysis strain gage sensors in Advanced Sensors Technology.
The C4A series enables for improved simulation and analysis for
structure design verification, real-time condition monitoring of
critical structures, such as bridges, dams, ships, and wind
turbines, as well as medical applications for patient outcome and
safety.
Saving time and installation costs, the C4A Series features
pre-attached leadwires to eliminate soldering and ensures
dependable installations particularly in harsh field
conditions. Other features and benefits of the C4A Series
strain gages include: RoHS compliance, lead-free solder, strain
gage grid protection with polyimide encapsulation, and direct
connection to test instrumentation for faster gage
installation.
Ron Zukerman, Sr. Manager of Sales & Marketing for
Micro-Measurements Advanced Sensors, said: “The C4A series
represents an enhancement to our family of strain gages that are
already proven as best-in-class in terms of reliability robustness,
and repeatability.”
Built with Advanced Sensors Technology, a revolutionary
enhancement in strain gage manufacturing, the C4A Series is
manufactured with tighter tolerances and improved gage-to-gage
consistency. Advanced Sensors Technology applies tangible
specification and manufacturing process improvements, along with
industry-exclusive strain gage sensor design techniques, for direct
customer benefit. The innovation behind Advanced Sensors Technology
reflects many decades of Micro-Measurements R&D experience,
gained across a global portfolio of thousands of successful
applications, with other refinements achieved via ongoing customer
feedback.
Visually identical to conventional strain gages, many patterns
of the C4A Series can be used as a 1:1 replacement for familiar and
commonly-used gages. The C4A Series are available for purchase
through the Micro-Measurement online shop:
