Product description

This strain sensor is widely used in many measurement applications, whether static or dynamic. A strain gauge is sometimes referred to as an electrical resistance strain gauge, or simply a resistance strain gauge.

It is also used in measurement applications considered dynamic, where the output fluctuates significantly due to deformation of the tested mechanical object. It is commonly applied to components subjected to stress and torsion.

“Strain” is defined as the ratio of the change in an object’s length to its original length. A strain gauge measures this change caused by an external force and converts it into an electrical signal that can later be digitized, displayed, logged, and analyzed.
