Foil Type Strain Gauge
CF Series Cryogenic Temperature Use Strain Gauge
CF series cryogenic temperature use strain gauges utilize a special plastic for the backing and a special alloy for the element. They allow stable measurement from normal temperature to the cryogenic temperature range. The temperature compensation range is an approximate range.
These are foil strain gauges with epoxy backing designed for measurement under cryogenic conditions. They are available in single element, rectangular 2-element and rectangular 3-element configurations with 350Ω resistance. The specially selected and heat treated grid of the gauges shows very small zero shift under cryogenic temperature compared to conventional strain gauges.

QF Series Strain Gauges For High Temperature Gauge
These are foil strain gauges having a polyimide resin backing. Strain measurement in high temperature is easily performed by bonding the strain gauge with room temperature curing adhesive NP-50B. Strain gauges for stress concentration measurement or torque measurement are also available in addition to general use gauges in this series.
New series of strain gauges named GOBLET are added to this series. They are compliant with RoHS 2 Directive 2011/65/EU and supplied with CE marking. Even though lead-free solder is used in the GOBLET gauges, they show better performance than conventional strain gauges owing to the adoption of unique gauge pattern. Extension leadwires with CE marking are also available.
