LY Linear Strain Gauges with 1 Measuring Grid
Series LY is the first choice for strain measurements in only one direction. With types LY1, LY2, LY4, LY5, LY6, LY7 , LY8 and LY9 we offer you linear strain gauges (SGs) in various geometries and sizes, each available with temperature responses adapted to the following materials:
- Ferritic steel (10.8 ppm/K; 6.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 1
- Aluminum (23 ppm/K; 12.8 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 3
- Austenitic steel (16 ppm/K, 8.9 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 5
- Silica/composite (0,5 ppm/K; 0.3 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 6
- Titanium and gray cast iron (9 ppm/K; 5.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 7
- Plastic (65 ppm/K; 36.1 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 8
- Molybdenum (5.4 ppm/K; 3.0 ppm/°F); temperature matching codes: 9
Insert the temperature matching code in place of the placeholder “x” to get the ordering number of the strain gage you need. Strain gauges with # characterized are only available in matches for aluminum, ferritic and austenitic steel
Save time and efforts: LY4 strain gauges are available as pre-wired versions with connection cable


Measuring grid consists of constantan, measuring grid carrier is polymide
