Strain Gauges (SG) Application

From planning to implementation, we apply strain gauges professionally and individually to ensure durable measuring points for precise strain and stress measurements directly on your components.

Strain Gauge Application on Holding Bracket

With the aid of a strain gauge, strains and stresses in material can be determined, which enable conclusions to be drawn about the stress of the component.

We conduct professional in-house SG applications on your components tailored to your specific needs. Thanks to our employees’ many years of experience in the field of SG application, we ensure the highest quality and a very long life of the measurement points.

We would be happy to provide you with supporting advice for your project with respect to the following points:

Precisely defining suitable measurement points with the expert assistance of our experienced employees
Upon request, we will create a computer simulation using the finite element method (FEM) according to your design drawing in order to forecast and visualize forces (stresses) that may occur
Careful selection of suitable strain gauges
Labeling and wiring as quarter, half or full bridge for torsion, bending, tension and compression force measurement…
Application of hot-hardening adhesives, chemically resistant and over many years
