A strain gauge (or strain gage) is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; it converts force, pressure, tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured. When external forces are applied to a stationary object, stress and strain are the result. Stress is defined as the object's internal Strain Gauge forces, and strain is defined as the displacement and deformation that occur.
At present, the production companies focus on China, it will reached a production volume of approximately 65888 K units in 2016, and the production volume share is 30.45%, and the secondary production region is USA, it will reached a production volume of 48175 K units in 2016, and the production volume share is 22.26%, Europe is following with 22.00% share.
There are major two classification of strain gauge Sensors in this report, metal strain gauge Sensors and semiconductor strain gauge Sensors. Globally, the revenue share of each type of strain gauge is 87.61% %and 12.39% in 2016.
