DMS application in hot and cold bonding processes

A strain gauge is a measuring device that is used to record deformations such as strains and compressions. It works by changing its electrical resistance when subjected to mechanical stress. This change in resistance can then be measured and evaluated to determine the mechanical stress and strain of the material.

Strain gauges usually consist of a thin wire or foil that is glued to a carrier material with a special adhesive. When the carrier material deforms under load, the wire or foil also stretches, which leads to a change in electrical resistance. This allows mechanical components to be converted into measuring instruments.

In addition to the strain gauge application of our own force sensors, we also offer the bonding and wiring of strain gauges on customer components. We have the option of carrying out the entire application process in our laboratory or directly on site at your company.
