Application Of Resistive Strain Sensors
for Measuring the Physical Values
Force Measurement
A resistive strain sensor attached to the working medium of the sensor, which serves as support for weight or applied effort, can measure the force directed at this support or the weight lying on it.
The sensors can be selected in the following sections:
- Force sensors
- Strain gauge sensors
- Resistive strain sensors
Pressure Measurement
A resistive strain sensor attached to a diaphragm (membrane) allows to determine the air or liquid pressure on this diaphragm. The resistive strain sensor is typically attached to the back of the diaphragm to avoid sensor damage due to direct pressure of air or liquid.
The sensors can be selected in the following sections:
- Pressure sensors
- Resistive strain sensors
Measurement of Displacement
A resistive strain sensor attached to an elastic element allows to determine the bending force on this elastic element, thus allowing to measure the displacement causing this bending force.
The sensors can be selected in the following sections:
- Displacement sensors
- Resistive strain sensors
Torque Measurement
A resistive strain sensor attached to a drive shaft of car engine or a torsion shaft of drilling machine allows to measure the transmission force, i.e. the torque of this shaft.
The sensors are available in the following sections:
- Torque sensors
- Resistive strain sensors
