The Solartron Flexure Gauge is a compact measuring device, which is based on a parallelogram for the ultimate in precision and long life. Motion is achieved without any friction parts, resulting in exceptional repeatability and minimal hysterisis. Under normal operating conditions the gauge has an expected life in excess of 25million cycles. Range stops are provided to prevent over stressing the flexure and the high stiffness in the plane normal to the measurement axis means that repeatability and life are maintained in the presence of side loads.

The Flexure Gauge is available with both forward and reverse spring action. For automatic loading of components, a pneumatically actuated version is available. The integral transducer is fitted with a Viton® gaiter, to achieve IP65 rating and the absence of bearings makes the Flexure Gauge naturally immune from contamination and humidity.

LVDT and Half Bridge analogue versions are available for plugging into most standard amplifiers. Digital versions allow the non-linearity of the flexure motion to be corrected during the calibration process, so that the output is a linear function of displacement. The networking capability of these products allows Solartron Flexure Gauges to be mixed with other digital transducers in a single measurement system.
