Understanding Strain Gauges in Load Cells (Thin Film vs. Bonded Foil. vs. Silicon)
Strain gauges are a type of sensor used to measure a change in force by way of tension and compression. Typically, four strain gauges are used in a Wheatstone Bridge configuration to make up a load cell (a.k.a force sensor). …
