Rosette strain gauge measures PCB stress in tight spaces
Suitable for measurements on printed circuit boards (PCB), small components or applications with limited space, the RF9 miniature rosette strain gauge has been released by HBM. Compact in size, the strain gauge rosette features a three stacked measurement grid which is only 5mm in size, enabling it to determine a biaxial stress state with unknown principal stress direction in confined spaces.
Easy to connect, the RF9 is pre-wired with colour-coded enamelled copper wires, eliminating the need for fiddly soldering on the strain gauge.
When it comes to printed circuit boards of electronic components in automobiles, commercial vehicles, or smart phones in mobile use, even the slightest crack can cause the entire system to fail. As manufacturers increasingly require their suppliers to prove the mechanical safety of PCBs, strain gauges such as the RF9 from HBM enable the mechanical stability of printed circuits boards to be reliably tested.
HBM provides the complete measurement chain for such applications; from its extensive range of strain gauges; through to the QuantumX MX1615 amplifier and Catman® AP software for data acquisition and analysis.
HBM also supports its customers with training and contract installation to ensure optimum operational use.
