Strain Gauges

Strain gauges are sensors that are used to measure strain or deformation in a material. These sensors typically consist of a thin strip of conductive material that is attached to the surface of a material. When the material is subjected to strain or deformation, the conductive strip is stretched or compressed, causing a change in its electrical resistance. This change in resistance can be measured using a Wheatstone bridge circuit, providing a quantitative measurement of the strain or deformation. Strain gauges are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including structural engineering, biomechanics, and material testing. These sensors are available in a variety of sizes, sensitivity levels, and attachment methods to suit different applications. Strain gauges are an essential component of many electronic systems, providing accurate and reliable measurement of strain or deformation in a material.
