Proving rings were developed decades ago as an NIST accepted tool and method of force measurement to “prove” the magnitude of an applied force. Deflections due to applied force cause a change in diameter of the ring, which was measured with a micrometer, allowing the user to calculate with good accuracy the amount of force being applied. The proving ring principle was adapted to strain gage transducers and is still a common spring element design used in modern force transducers. These devices are critical for measuring force in various applications, and can be designed to measure either compression or tension loads, or both. Load proving rings with strain gages are often used to accurately measure the force or load applied to materials or structures that are undergoing testing procedures. While load cells are commonly used in many industries, proving rings are an excellent alternative for specific applications due to their simple design. Strain gage sensors are bonded to the proving ring's surface in different locations around and in the ring to transduce the deformation caused by applied force into an electrical output. The design of the proving ring and the strain gages utilized may vary based on the load range and environmental conditions. Both proving rings and load cells play critical roles in industries such as #aerospace , #automotive , and materials testing, ensuring precise force measurement in diverse scenarios. Whether you're testing a new aircraft or measuring the strength of a building, these devices provide accurate and reliable measurements.

How can a 3D strain gage be used in production load cells?

A (full) bridge is easier to build when it’s clear what’s on either side of it. Happy Veterans Day!

What data do you need? Tour de force 🚴♀️. It’s easier to put the pedal to the metal with a sensor.

Everywhere you lean-in, don’t miss the forest for the trees. 🌲

For decades, strain gage manufacturers have ingeniously crafted full bridge gages in linear and circular patterns for pressure transducers and force transducers. The theory behind how these strain gages work, utilizing radial and circumferential strain on a bulging membrane surface, is truly elegant. The specially designed grid patterns are arranged in a full bridge to generate an output voltage signal directly proportional to the pressure that is being applied. This is elegantly detailed in Micro-Measurement’s application note TN-510-1. While circular diaphragm gages excel at averaging strain across a larger surface area, linear diaphragm patterns are generally less costly. The precision and innovation behind these designs showcase the expertise and dedication of strain gage manufacturers in optimizing the sensor characteristics and performance.

VPG Drone deliveries take flight in a first-of-its-kind trial with a strain gage sensor as the payload. Innovation has been part of the VPG DNA since day one, and we are always looking (up) for new and better ways to deliver sensors to our customers’ doorsteps. 😉

Did you ever wonder what happens to a strain gage sensor under pressure? Millions of years ago, this diamond was merely a lump of carbon! The 187UVA, a diamond 💎 in the sensor technology world, is a dual-grid, common-tab strain gage with 3 solder tabs at one end. This strain gage sensor offers precision shear strain measurement, or alternately, can be used as the sensor to form a shear or torsion load cell.
