Our model EAG axial extensometer is designed around our innovative, cross-flexure module. This extensometer is designed for improved performance and ruggedness. It features a side-exit cable to reduce cable wear / damage.

Model EAG also features our unique, ultra-low profile, axial Quick Attach System allowing easy, one-handed, specimen attachment even between very close grips. This attachment system is designed to provide easy attachment while not influencing the extensometer's output or performance. The wire forms on our system are designed to transmit the attachment force axially through the extensometer body.

The Quick Attach System includes round and flat wire forms for both round and flat specimens. If you prefer to attach the extensometer with springs or rubber bands, spring mounts are available.

With a full bridge, 350 ohm, strain gaged design, model EAG is compatible with most test systems and signal conditioning electronics design for strain gage based transducers. Reliant can provide stand-alone electronics to allow the use of data acquisition boards (DAQ), chart recorders or other test equipment.

• May be left on through specimen failure.
• 350 ohm, full bridge strain gaged design to ensure compatibility with most any test system.
• Designed to measure in both tension and compression and can be used for cyclic testing.
• Built-in mechanical over-travel stops provide protection in both directions.
• Low profile Quick Attach System allows one hand mounting to specimens in tight spaces.
• Standard units meet ASTM class B-1 requirements for accuracy and a verification certificate is included with each unit.
• Rugged, optimized, dual flexure design for strength and improved performance.
• Low friction cable stop design does not influence performance.
• Replaceable, tool steel knife edges and all units are shipped with a spare set.
• Solid, replaceable arms are not easily damaged like other designs.
• High and low temperature options extend operation range from -270°C to +200 °C (-454 °F to +400 °F).

• Connectors to interface to nearly any brand of test equipment.
• Custom wire-forms available for attachment to large specimens.
• Gauge length adapter kits.
• Stand alone signal conditioners for use with DAQ boards.
• High-Toughness, and specialty knife edges.
