Semi-Conductor Strain Gaging
In addition to foil strain gage applications support and foil strain gage transducer design and manufacture capabilities, HITEC offers extensive expertise in the semi-conductor strain gage field.
Typically, semi-conductor strain gages are first considered for an application where low strain conditions or sever overload requirements are present. In areas where a foil strain gage is not suitable or perhaps ideal, a semi-conductor strain gage offers advantages with its high gage factor. Semi-conductor strain gages can also be utilized where extreme space constraints exist, low loads exist or where a high signal to noise ratio is required.
We've got the experience, a few examples below. Contact us today to discuss specifics using semi-conductor strain gages.
Recent applications involving semi-conductor strain gages include:
- Multi-axis quadraped - force feedback on robotic legs
- Phalange sensors - to measure forces in an humanoid hand
- Prosthetic knee transducers - force feedback on knee joints
- Trailer axle hubs - axle preload bearing application
