Load cells are strain gauge based sensors used for weighing applications.
Strain gage based sensors are mostly used.
How I know if the strain gauge is gone
Advantages and disadvantages of strain gauge
"Mechanical Strain gauges" do not have inductance. There are many types of strain gauge: Mechanical, photoelastic, electrical etc.... Are you wanting the inductance of an electrical strain gauge? if so which type?
it is more sensitive small gauge size low hysteresis
You can increase the sensitivity of a force sensor using a strain gauge by either increasing the gauge factor (by using materials with higher sensitivity to strain) or by increasing the strain applied to the gauge (by increasing the length or width of the gauge). Both methods will increase the change in resistance of the strain gauge in response to applied force, resulting in higher sensitivity.
A wire strain gauge is a type of sensor used to measure deformation or strain in an object. It consists of a thin wire arranged in a specific pattern, typically mounted on a backing material, which changes its electrical resistance when stretched or compressed. This change in resistance can be measured and correlated to the amount of strain experienced by the object, making wire strain gauges valuable in various engineering and structural applications. They are commonly used in load cells, pressure sensors, and structural health monitoring.
mercury in tube strain gage.
the types are1> mechanical strain gauge like single bonded rosette2> electrical resistance strain gauges3> elliptical c/s gauge. e..g bourdon tube etc.
metallic bonded strain gauge
* a device that responds to mechanical strain. with a small change in resistance. ... * device for determining the amount of strain (change in dimensions) when a stress is applied
