1 Linear Strain s Description BCM SENSOR linear strain gauges are specially developed for manufacturing precision force transducers which employ bending beam working principle. For the purpose of this specific application, the linear strain gauges are temperature and creep compensated, and they can be either encapsulated or open-face according to the requirement. The karma gauges can be manufactured with effective modulus compensation (EMC). The EMC gauges are mostly for manufacturing low-cost force transducers, because with the EMC gauges the manufacturers can eliminate the use of compensation resistors and achieve the sensitivity compensation. For creep compensation, there are 18 creep codes: N10, N9, N8,..., O,..., ". The N10 is the most negative creep code, while the P7" is the most positive one. The O stands for a moderate creep code. For a specific strain gauge, please find its available creep code below its dimensions at the " on the following pages. For customized creep code, consult BCM SENSOR. For more information on self-temperature compensation (STC), creep compensation, and EMC of strain gauges, please refer to the corresponding articles respectively on the website of BCM SENSOR.
