Frictional type Axial Strain Transducer
Frictional type Axial Strain Transducer FGAH-1B-R / FGAH-1B-H
Approximately 1000 × 10-6 strain
This is a transducer to measure axial strain of tie-rod of a car. It is also suited to measure axial strain of tension rod used in aseismic reinforcement structure or in steel frame structure. Since frictional strain gauges are used in this transducer, installation is completed and it gets ready for measurement by merely pinching the rod with the transducer, without detaching the rod. There is no need of technical skill or complicated works for attaching strain gauges on the rod. It is applicable either to round rod or hexagonal rod by replacing the spacer and fixing bracket.
Features
- No need to remove an in-place rod; simply clamps on
- Facilitates tension control of rods between sheet piles and architectural structures at civil engineering projects, can be removed and used again
- Applicable rod diameters are ø10 to 25 mm, width across flats 13 to 25 mm
- Compact, lightweight design allowing installation even in narrow spaces
