XY Torsion/Shear Strain Gauges with 2 Measuring Grids for Measurements on Torsion Bars and Determining Shear Stresses
Types XY2 and XY4 are V-shaped strain gauges (SGs) with 2 measuring grids arranged at an angle of about 45° to the SG axis. Typical applications for these strain gauges include measurements on torsion bars and determining shear stresses as they occur in shear beams in the area of neutral fibers.
With types XY2 and XY4 we offer you strain gauges (SG) 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: XY4 strain gauges are available as pre-wired versions with connection cable

Simplified Documentation and Parameterization
To optimize the measuring point documentation each strain gauge includes two stickers which can be placed next to the measuring point and near the measuring amplifier. Benefit from the parameter information directly in the measurement setup:
- QR code that directly links to the data sheet of the respective strain gauge
- The product and production batch numbers
- The k-factor and a additional space for your notes
- QR code containing the values of the individual strain gauge to simplify computer-aided parameterization or documentation with a scanner
Please note: newly produced strain gauges all come with the sticker in stock, strain gauges still in stock do not have this feature yet.
