5K Ohm (Ω) Bridge Completion Modules (BCM).

Built with Vishay Foil Technology, the most stable resistor technology available, the MRF-Series improves the quality of strain and force measurements for a broad range of applications, such as medical, smart manufacturing, structural health monitoring (SHM), machine health monitoring (MHM), and human health monitoring (HHM).

Since many general-purpose instruments do not provide internal bridge completion capability, the MRF-Series of BCMs effectively implements a full Wheatstone bridge for accurate and stable measurements when testing specimens structured as a ¼ -bridge (single gage) or ½ -bridge (dual gages).

In this video Ben and Darryl explain that the accuracy of the strain measurement depends on the quality of the strain gage used, but also on the bridge completion circuit attached to it. Installing it close to the strain gage and using foil resistors optimize the measurement accuracy. Micro-Measurements offers a wide selection of qualified and dedicated BCM for strain gage sensors that cover the spectrum of values. The MRF-Series are specially fabricated using Vishay Foil Technology products to meet the highest performance standards under a wide range of environmental conditions. These MRF modules and are packaged to ensure reliable and repeatable accurate results.
