The Transducer strain gauge

By far the most common use of strain gauges is at the heart of force transducer or load cell systems. The load cell system provides a simple and accurate means of quantifying mechanical forces into engineering units. Simple, because a mechanical fixing is provided, along with ready made electrical connections. Accurate, because the force transducer or load cell is designed and manufactured for optimal performance. The transducer is supplied calibrated, to provide known signal (output) versus applied load (input).

Where the use of load cells is not feasible, either financially or physically, the strain gauge system can be used directly for the 'transducer-isation' of existing load bearing components.
