TML-NET Compatible Transducers

TML-NET Compatible Transducers

This is a strain gauge based transducer with a built-in network module. It is connected to a network driver ND-100, and the ND-100 is connected to a data logger for data transmission. Connection between the transducer and the ND-100 is available using an exclusive two-core cable since the data transmission is made in degital form. Additional TML-NET compatible transducers can be cascaded using the two-core cable.

Low elastic strain gauge

GF series Low elastic strain gauge

These strain gauges are suited for the measurement on materials such as plastics, which have low elastic modulus compared to metals. The specially designed grid pattern reduces the stiffening effect of strain gauge on the specimen. This series is available with self-temperature-compensation for materials having coefficient of thermal expansion of 50 or 70 ×10-6 strain/℃.
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.

Leadwires Dedicated to Strain Gauges

Leadwires dedicated to strain gauges

Strain gauges are connected to strain measuring instruments using extension leadwires. Various types of leadwires are available for selection depending on the usage conditions. In addition, most of TML strain gauges are available with extension leadwires preattached at our factory. Those leadwire-integrated strain gauges greatly save the leadwire connection works during the strain gauge installation. Please feel free to contact TML or your local representative for the extension leadwires and the leadwire-integrated strain gauges.
