Strain Gauges

The semiconductor strain gage may be thought of as a strain sensitive resistor. Generally cemented to a stressed member, its resistance changes as a function of applied strain. This characteristic makes it useful in the field of stress analysis, physical measurements and testing and transducer manufacture. Similar to conventional metallic wire and foil gages, Kulite Semiconductor Gages offer the significant advantages of: higher sensitivity, smaller sizes, higher resistance, higher fatigue life and low hysteresis.
