Industry Applications of Micro-Measurements Linear Strain Gages

In the automotive sector, our axial strain gages are instrumental in testing vehicle components for fatigue and stress under real-world conditions. For example, manufacturers use our linear strain gages (gauges) to measure the stress on chassis and suspension systems, leading to the development of safer and more reliable vehicles. Precision is paramount in the aerospace industry. Our uniaxial strain gages (gauges) help engineers monitor stress on aircraft wings and fuselage sections during flight tests. This data is critical for ensuring structural integrity and compliance with safety regulations.

 

Civil engineers rely on our general-purpose strain gages to assess the structural health of bridges, buildings, and other infrastructures. By measuring strain in critical areas, they can predict potential failures and schedule maintenance proactively, enhancing public safety. In industrial settings, our linear strain gages (gauges) are used for machinery health monitoring and material testing. Companies utilize our products to optimize equipment performance, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of their assets.
