Model:

CALIBER

Year:

2007

US Patent:

20040159162, Aug 19, 2004

Filed:

Feb 19, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/368922

Inventors:

Thomas Kieffer - Wake Forest NC, US
Robert Watson - Clayton NC, US
Sharon Karcher Harris - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Vishay Intertechnology - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G01L001/00

US Classification:

073/777000

Abstract:

An improved strain gage is disclosed. The strain gage includes a semi-rigid substrate having a thickness of about 1 to about 30 mils, a resistive strain sensitive foil bonded to the semi-rigid substrate for providing a resistance varying with strain associated with a surface to which the strain gage is attached, and a first and a second terminal operatively connected to the resistive strain sensitive foil.

Appl. No.:

10/958545

Inventors:

Thomas Kieffer - Wake Forest NC, US
Robert Watson - Clayton NC, US
Sharon Karcher Harris - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G01L007/00

US Classification:

073777000

Abstract:

An improved strain gage and an improved manufacturing method are disclosed. The strain gage includes a semi-rigid substrate having a thickness of 3 to 30 mils, a resistive strain sensitive foil bonded to the semi-rigid substrate for providing a resistance varying with strain associated with a surface to which the strain gage is attached, a first and a second terminal operatively connected to the resistive strain sensitive foil, and an anti-static layer. The improved strain gage allows for reduced labor content in manufacturing by allowing use of modern automated electronic component manufacturing equipment.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jun 27, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/167397

Inventors:

Thomas Kieffer - Wake Forest NC, US
Robert Watson - Clayton NC, US
Rebecca Showalter - Raleigh NC, US
Sharon Harris - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Vishay Measurements Group, Inc. - Raleigh NC

International Classification:

G01N 3/00

US Classification:

073795000

Abstract:

A strain gage includes a strain gage grid of a conductive foil formed by a plurality of grid lines joined in series by end loops and first and second solder tabs electrically connected to the strain gage grid. The end loops of the strain gage are aligned off-axis with or at an angle relative to the measurement axis of the strain gage to thereby alter creep characteristics of the strain gage.
