OMEGA®offers K-Series Tee Rosettes for Axial strain transducer
designs.
Three different Tee Rosette styles available:
SGK-B3A-K350U -***** has 2 separate strain gages with
perpendicular grids on a single carrier.
SGK-BH3A-K350U-***** is a half-bridge design, with
2 strain gages, perpendicular grids with a common
lead/pad on a single carrier.
SGK-B5A-K350W-***** is a half-bridge Tee Rosette design,
often used for column load cell design where high accuracy is a
requirement. The geometry for this strain gage is shown with the
tabs along the top, and the center strain gage is vertical, and used
for the principal stress direction in the column. The Perpendicular
grid is split, half on each side. This may also be known as transverse
grid. The transverse grid tends to correct for bending strain,
or off-axis loading in the column.

BONDABLE TERMINAL PADS
When installing strain gages with ribbon leads or
solder pads, use Bondable Terminal Pads (BTP)
between the strain gage and the wires to your
instrumentation.
The Bondable Terminal Pads provide a large easy
to use soldering area and provide strain relief between
the strain gage and the heavy instrument wires.
Using Bondable Terminal Pads is simple. Use the same
adhesive and bonding procedure on the Bondable
Terminal Pads as you use on the strain gage.
OMEGA offers BTPs in several sizes and wiring
configurations to fit most all strain gage applications.
