Strain gauge sensor is a type of sensor employed to measure or detects strain on an object. The operational sensitivity is described in terms of a characteristic called ‘gauge factor’. Measurement and test applications, defense & aerospace, healthcare, and automotive are some of the major end-use areas of strain gauge sensors worldwide. Based on type, the market has been segmented into mechanical strain gauge sensors, electrical strain gauge sensors, and piezoelectric strain gauge sensors.
Based on mounting type, the market has been divided into bounded strain gauges and unbounded strain gauges. Based on construction, the market has been segregated into optical sensors, semiconductor strain gauges, photoelectric gauges, thin-film strain gauges, and diffused semiconductor strain gauges. Based on application, the market for strain gauge sensors has been classified in to vibration monitoring, residual stress, torque measurement, strain measurement, and deflection &bending measurement. Geographically, the global market for strain gauge sensors has been segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East & Africa.
Precise determination of suitable measuring points; bonding with full, half, and quarter bridges and temperature, bending; and centrifugal force compensation are some of the major factors responsible for the growing usage of strain gauge sensors all over the world. Application of strain gauge sensors for test objects with the weight level upto one ton is another major factor driving the strain gauge sensors market. Some of the major end-user industries of strain gauge sensors are chemical, metal, biotechnology, material, and food &beverages.
