SGD-DUAL-GRID

Supported Applications

The Omega SGD Dual Parallel Grid series consists of precision strain gauges designed for monitoring bending strain. These dual-linear pattern sensors are engineered to measure deformation in applications requiring the detection of flexural stress.

Operating Conditions & Performance

Performance is defined by specific grid patterns and maximum permitted bridge energizing voltages (Vrms) that vary by model configuration. The series supports nominal resistances of 350 Ω and 1000 Ω. Maximum voltage ratings range from 6.5 Vrms to 40 Vrms depending on the gage pattern, resistance value, and termination type selected.

Configuration Options

The series offers a configurable envelope across grid sizes, electrical connections, temperature compensation materials, and physical dimensions.

• Gage Patterns: Available in multiple configurations identified by pattern codes (e.g., 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 7.4 mm, 11.8 mm actual size representations).
• Nominal Resistance: Options include 350 Ω and 1000 Ω.
• Termination Types: Models are offered with Ribbon Leads or Solder Pads for electrical connection.
• Temperature Compensation Materials: Configurable for Steel (ST) or Aluminum (AL).
• Packaging: Supplied in packages of 5 units per model number.

Key Product Differences

Variants within the SGD-DUAL-GRID series are distinguished by their gage pattern, nominal resistance, termination method, and temperature compensation material. The model numbering convention follows the format: SGD-<GAGE PATTERN>-<NOMINAL RESISTANCE>-DY<TERMINATION>-<TEMP COMP>. For example, SGD-2/350-DY43 denotes a 350 Ω strain gage with Solder Pads and Aluminum temperature compensation. Physical dimensions for Grid A, Grid B, Carrier C, and Carrier D vary by the specific pattern selected.
