Strain Gauges for Transducers
FLAB Series Strain Gauges for Transducers
Our finely tuned creep compensation enables shorter development times for high-precision transducers, making it easier to achieve superior performance with strain gauge-based designs.
The FLAB series supports temperature compensation for materials with thermal expansion coefficients of 11, 17, and 23 ppm/℃. It also allows accurate strain measurement as a direct replacement for conventional creep codes C2, C4, C6, and C8.

Creep Compensation
Stable and high-precision creep characteristics are essential for strain gauge-type transducers. Generally, creep compensation is achieved by offsetting the creep of the elastic body (positive) and the creep of the strain gauge (negative). Our product allows for high-precision creep compensation by finely categorizing the turntab dimensions and identifying them with a creep code.
