Bonded foil strain gauges (BFSG) are metal based foil elements that are incorporated into a flexible electrically insulating material which can then be bonded to a surface with adhesives.
As stress is applied to the material, the BFSG will deform and the resistance changes. If a voltage is applied across the BFSG it can be used to measure the amount of strain by monitoring the variation in voltage drop through the BFSG.
Featured bonded foil strain gauge sensor technology related products
TPFAS Miniature Flush Diaphragm Pressure Sensor - The TPFAS pressure sensor has a small size flush diaphragm which allows the use of a smaller size G1/4 (1/4 BSP) or M10 x 1 male thread for fitting where there is limited room or access to the process measurement point.
Bonded Foil Strain Gauge Pressure Sensors - Bonded foil strain gauge or BFSG pressure sensors have foil gauges made from materials such as Constantan which are bonded using industrial adhesives to a stainless diaphragm or beam which is the material which flexes in response to change in pressure.
