What is a Precision Strain Gauge?

A precision strain gauge is a sensor used to detect and measure the strain or deformation of an object. It consists of a flexible conductor pattern on a thin substrate, typically made of materials like foil or semiconductor. When the gauge is bonded to a structure, it deforms along with the structure, leading to changes in its electrical resistance. This change in resistance is directly proportional to the amount of strain experienced by the object, enabling precise strain measurement.
