Industry Applications for Transducer Class® Strain Gages
Our strain gages are essential components in the design of load cells, force transducers, and pressure transducers, all critical for various industrial applications. In load cells, they ensure consistent strain readings, allowing for reliable weight measurements in systems like industrial scales and material testing machines, even under fluctuating loads. For force transducers, our technology enables precise force measurements in manufacturing, testing, and quality control processes, contributing to safer and more efficient operations. In pressure transducers, our strain gages convert minute mechanical strain into accurate pressure readings, ensuring reliable data in demanding environments such as oil and gas exploration, hydraulic systems, and industrial automation.

CUSTOM GAGE & SENSOR DESIGN FOR OEM APPLICATIONS
Get tailored strain gages and hybrid sensors for unique specifications, including custom pattern geometries and materials. Experience consistent performance with our hybrid flex sensors, perfect for automotive, medical, and industrial applications.
LINEAR PATTERNS
Linear pattern gages are typically used in S-Beam, binocular, Reverse Bending and Dual Beam load cell and pressure transducer designs. They are available in single linear or dual linear configurations and customizable grid sizes to allow for gaging one side or both sides of the spring element.
0° - 90° PATTERNS
Bi-axial strain gages are designed for use in column load cells (to cancel bending strain) or simple cantilever applications (for gaging a single side of the spring element).
SHEAR/TORQUE ROSETTES
Micro-Measurements Shear/Torque Rosette Transducer Gages are designed for measuring shear strain and torque, available in individual and multiple grid patterns, and come in lengths from 0.062” (1.57 mm) to 0.250” (6.35 mm).
HIGH RESISTANCE PATTERNS
High resistance pattern gages are a preferred choice for low power consumption in various applications. These include electronic torque wrenches; pocket (jewelry) scales; bicycle and motorcycle sensing and testing equipment; and applications such as wireless telemetry on rotating components.
Linear, shear, bi-axial and diaphragm (circular and linear pattern) gages, arranged as individual, half-bridge and full-bridge configurations are available in resistance values from 350 Ω to 20 kΩ.
FULL-BRIDGE PATTERNS
Full-Bridge gages are a preferred choice for aerospace, medical, automotive, and subsea applications. Full-Bridge designs provide simplified, precise alignment and reduced bonding operations.
DIAPHRAGM PATTERNS
Diaphragm pattern gages are available as square-trimmed diaphragm gages (standard) or circular-trimmed diaphragm gages (optional). Different trim diameters, depending on the diaphragm size, are available. Several standard circular trim sizes are available to fit a wide range of diaphragm diameters.
PLATINUM-TUNGSTEN ALLOY STRAIN GAGES
This unique, high gage factor strain gage series offers increased strain sensitivity (4+ gage factor) – more than double all other foil strain gage types.
BONDABLE RESISTORS FOR TRANSDUCER COMPENSATION
Our unique, bondable resistors deliver tighter tolerance, better stability, and shorter lead times. These innovative resistors ensure repeatable test data, when compared to previous-generation conventional resistor types.
