⻬ Custom Gages Available—Fast Delivery
OMEGA®offers K-Series strain gages for shear and torsional strain
applications. These strain gages can be used in transducer design for shear
beam load cells. They can also be used for reaction torque on a shaft. Single
strain gages are available, SGK-SS3A-K350U-**** and matched, but with
opposite grid angle is the SGK-SS3B-K350U-****. The SGK-SD3A-K350U-****
and the SGK-SD3B-K350U-**** have 2 shear strain gages, with opposite grid
angles, on one carrier, with separate leads/tabs(electrically independent). The
Torsional Strain
SGK-SDH3B-K350U-**** has 2 shear strain gages, with opposite grid angles
with a common lead/tab.
