Michigan Scientific has extensive experience in applying strain gauges to a wide variety of components and equipment. The gauged part maintains its strength and physical integrity and can be used to collect accurate data on the forces it experiences during product development, component testing, and structural analysis. Our team has successfully instrumented small and large-scale components in even the most complex environments across industries and applications.
Michigan Scientific provides onsite strain gauge services and can instrument both component and structural applications for measurement and analysis at the customer’s location.
Michigan Scientific has strain gauged and collected data on:
- Structural beams for deflection and stress testing
- Circuit boards for monitoring stress
- Thermal chamber door panel, monitored for deformation during manufacturing
- Industrial 16 inch diameter drive shaft of a large cement plant ball mill for measuring torque, acceleration, and rotational velocity
- Applications requiring deep bore gauging up to six inches in depth with a minimum diameter of 0.5 inches
- Gearbox components
- Solid axles via deep-bore gauging
- Vehicle suspension systems
Michigan Scientific also supports clients with data acquisition during testing and provides data processing, analysis, and reporting services. Data recording can be performed during the manufacturing process or in-service use to support a wide range of test and development activities.
