A strain gage detects a minute dimensional change (strain) as an electric signal. By measuring strain with the gage bonded to a material or structure, the strength or safety will be known. Thus, the strain gage is used in various industries including machinery, automobile, electric, civil engineering, medical, and food. The strain gage is also adopted as a sensing element of force, pressure, acceleration, vibration, displacement, and torque transducers used for various purposes including measurement and control of production lines.
Kyowa produced the first Japanese-made strain gages in 1951, and based on the abundant experience and technology accumulated for these years, we manufacture a variety of high-performance, environmentally friendly strain gages.
