Discover the fundamentals of strain gauges and their applications. Learn how strain gauges measure stress and deformation in materials and how this applies to industry.

HITEC continue to drive innovation in surgical technology, among the latest development is the integration of strain gauge sensors into surgical staplers.

Advanced spinal screws that incorporate HITEC’s torque and strain sensors can ensure the correct size and position of the screws and rods; and help to reduce the risk of post-surgery complications.

The implementation of force sensors in infusion pumps helps regulate fluid delivery and dosage to a patient and can also detect possible occlusions and blockages via pressure changes.

Strain gauge technology doesn’t come in a one size fits all scenario. The solutions are as diverse and individual as are the applications for which they are specified and developed.

Learn more about the Wheatstone bridge - two simple voltage dividers connected to a common voltage source.

How to minimize thermal effects on transducers which degrade the accuracy of their system and could damage the transducer.

There are several ways to prevent overloading in electronic weighing systems. Learn more about them.

If a mechanical input is applied at a rapid rate, a sensor may distort the conversion. We explore the sources of these distortions and how to apply corrections.

Learn how force sensors measure forces and torques along defined axes.
