Strain Gage, Sources of

Sep 30, 2003 2 Replies

Hello,



Does anyone know a good source for strain gages ?



I just want a strain gage and not the electronics everyone tries to sell with it.



I checked Google and could find only one supplier and the prices were all too high.



I am experimenting with the idea of using a strain gage as a seismic sensor and need a cheap source of parts. Used parts are A-OK.



I figure you might be able to simply support a mass upon a strain gage somehow then extract the signal down to the noise grass then look for seismic signals.



Any ideas here are welcome.



Sincerely, gmv No Emails, Possible Spams.
