high strain

The LD20 strain gauge comes in two sizes.

Durham Instruments brings the world’s top measurement devices to Canadian businesses, including solutions by HBM Test and Measurement. This includes many high-quality strain gauges, like the unique LD20 strain gauge for high strain or compression of up to ten per cent. HBM recommends this strain gauge for applications in which extremely high strain or compression (greater than five per cent) can extend or shorten them.

Simple installation process, easy handling

With maximum elongation of plus or minus 100,000 micrometres per metre (at plus or minus ten per cent), the LD20 is attached with leads measuring 30 millimetres (mm). Regarding fatigue life, this strain gauge exhibits a lower resistance to alternating loads than the HBM Y series of strain gauges does. The instrument is very suitable for measurements of high strain rates.

The LD20 for high strain is easy to install, with a simple installation process, and to handle. Like the Y series of universal strain gauges, it is extremely flexible. Each package includes ten pieces. Four models of this gauge are available: the 1-LD20-6/120, the 1-LD20-10/120, the 1-LD20-6/350, and the 1-LD20-10/350. The former two types offer a nominal (rated) resistance of 120 ohms, while the latter two have a nominal resistance of 350 ohms.

Both the 1-LD20-6/120 and the 1-LD20-6/350 models measure six by 13 mm in total. Both have LS7 solder terminals. The 6/120 has a maximum excitation voltage of eight volts for ferritic steel, while the 6/350 has the same type of voltage of 13 volts. Meanwhile, the 10/120 and 10/350 both measure 9½ by 18½ mm; the former’s measuring grid is 4.6 by ten mm, while the latter’s is five by ten mm. The 10/120 and 10/350 models use LS5 solder terminals; the 10/120 has a maximum excitation voltage of 13 volts for ferritic steel, and the 10/350 has this type of voltage of 23 volts.

Among the industries for which Durham Instruments deems this gauge suitable are aerospace, automation, food processing, forestry, the medical field, the military, mining, packaging, power generation, alternative energy, transportation, and research and development.
