These transducers come in the following types according to their conversion methods: These conversion methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and strain gauge transducers have advantages over other methods
The strain system is a component that converts mechanical elongation or compression into changes in resistance values, and can be widely used for measuring stress as mentioned earlier. In addition, it can also be applied to transducers that can measure various physical quantities.
A transducer is a device that converts a physical quantity to be measured into other physical quantities, with a proportional relationship between the pre and post conversion values, such as weight, pressure values, and voltage values. Many transducers are now widely used in well-known industries. For example, the safety management of various machinery, sensors for various automatic control devices on production lines, and digital scales can also be seen in supermarkets near you, where transducers are also used.
These transducers come in the following types according to their conversion methods:
These conversion methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and strain gauge transducers have advantages over other methods
Good linearity
Small and lightweight
Measurement suitable for dynamic phenomena
Can be measured remotely
It has many advantages, and is widely used not only in experiments but also in industrial measurement instruments. The various transducers currently sold are widely used because they can meet the requirements of high-precision measurement. However, high accuracy is not required in daily life. Therefore, this chapter provides 2 or 3 examples to illustrate the production method of strain gauge transducers, as a basis for reviewing the usage methods of strain gauges, understanding their principles and structures, and how to make strain gauge transducers.
General considerations for the design of strain gauge transducers
There are several types of physical quantity transducers made using strain gauges:
Load cell transducer
Pressure transducer
Acceleration transducer
Displacement transducer
Torque transducer
