The V-series of strain gauges has been designed for simplified installation while providing high precision. It features four 3m long stranded connection wires to facilitate simple and rapid installation.

The connection wires are designed to be especially suitable for connecting to HBM measuring amplifiers with their patented expanded Kreuzer circuit as this compensates for voltage losses due to long wires or temperature effects on the cable, enabling high-precision measurement.

HBM’s V-series of strain gauges is available in two versions – one with a resistance of 120 Ohm and the other with 350 Ohm – to provide users with maximum flexibility in structural testing.
