Strain Gauge Installation

At Crane Electronics, we have extensive experience in installing strain gauges and building torque meters and load cells for our customers. Working in-house or onsite at a customer’s premises, our expert strain gauge technicians can carefully select the most suitable product for each project.

From gauges, adhesives, coating and wires, we can design and install a system that meets your exact needs. Crane Electronics can also make recommendations and supply any associated instrumentation, such as amplifiers, meters or data telemetry.

How do strain gauges work?

Strain gauges measure the strain or force of an item by converting the force, pressure, tension and weight into measurable electrical resistance. There are many different types of strain gauges, including:

General Purpose Precision Strain Gauges
Transducer Quality Strain Gauges
Karma Strain Gauges
Bonded Foil Strain Gauges

What are load cells?

Load cells or load cell transducers are crucial components in many industrial weighing systems on processes. Load cells measure weight in the form of directional force using a mix of spring elements and strain gauges to convert the weight measurement into an electrical output.

Strain gauges and load cell applications

Many applications across manufacturing processes strain gauges and utilise load cells, including:

Automotive, aerospace and marine design
Industrial engineering
Torque measurements of essential components such as propellors or wheels
Construction and architecture design

Continuous training to BSSM standards ensures that our strain gauge technicians consistently deliver a high-quality service. For more information about our strain gauge capabilities, please contact us to speak to the team and discuss your requirements.
