GUNT training system enables the precise determination of the gauge factor of strain gauges by combining mechanical deformation measurement with electronic strain recording.
Product Features
- Measures deformation with a dial gauge and strain with four strain gauges in full bridge configuration
- Bar mounted on ball bearings allows for pure bending stress during loading
- Spindle mechanism applies load to the bar with measurable deflection
- Strain gauges positioned on compression and tension sides of the bar
- Digital measuring amplifier supplies bridge voltage and shows strain-dependent voltage output
- Zero balancing function compensates for initial preloading
- Gauge factor calculated arithmetically using both mechanical and electrical measurements
- Ideal for integrating practical topics like gauge application and bridge configuration into teaching
Benefits
- Hands-on understanding of gauge factor and its significance in strain measurement
- Clear linkage between mechanical deflection and electronic signal processing
- Teaches full bridge wiring and data interpretation of strain gauge outputs
