Strain gage fatigue sensors
The Columbia Research Lab Fatigue-Monitoring Strain Sensors may be bonded directly
to stress critical surfaces using conventional strain-gage bonding techniques. There are
two built-in dummy gages to provide a complete Wheatstone bridge with optimum
temperature compensation for zero shift stability. The complete full bridge sensor needs
only the most basic signal conditioing equipment to provide accurate and reliable data for
any temperature compensated strain measurement requirement. The four #26 AWG
insulated lead wires eliminate the tedious and difficult termination methods associated
with conventional strain gage installations. The sensors are made with temperature
compensation materials for aluminum, steel, titanium or graphite/epoxy based
structures. The bottom surface of the sensor is the polyimide substrate of active strain
gage elements and is supplied pre-processed for bonding to the test structure. The top
surface of the sensor contains the axis identification marking to assist in aligning the
gage with the principal strain axis.

Columbia Research Laboratories manufactures a broad variety of
sensors and associated signal conditioning electronics that include
force balance inertial-grade accelerometers and inclinometers,
piezoelectric vibration and pressure sensors, strain gage aircraft
mainframe fatigue sensors, precision linear variable differential
transducers, and fiber optic sensors.
Every year since 1957, Columbia transducers and systems have been
flight-qualified and performance proven on major United States
Government military programs, in-flight missile systems and/or
interplanetary manned and unmanned space vehicles. Columbia
transducers and systems have been subjected to the most technically
demanding in-flight qualification test requirements for performance
and reliability under some of the most severe environmental
conditions. In addition, Columbia transducers are used extensively in
industrial control and monitoring systems, where rugged construction
and long accurate performance life are the criteria.
