Micro-Measurements produces some of the smallest stacked rosettes with the highest resistances in the world. Their precision and size enable measurements in areas where other rosettes simply would not fit.

If you’ve ever seen a failed strain gage installation and wondered what went wrong, you might want to look at what was left behind: flux residue.

Flying without Stress! Did you know that Strain Gages are Part of Every Takeoff and Landing in Most Aircraft?🛫🛬

Happy holidays from Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) ☀️🌼💛 May your spring holiday season be filled with joy and togetherness with your loved ones.

Strain Relief for the Wiring Bottleneck It is by no flex of the imagination that this is our preferred way to deal with one of the most persistent bottlenecks in transducer design: wiring.

There’s something special in the air at VPG Wendell this week: gratitude. Employee Appreciation Week is our opportunity to say thank you to the people who make this place more than just a workplace.

What is customer service? And what makes it excellent? It’s more than answering the phone or replying to an email. It’s anticipating the need before it’s spoken. It’s solving a problem someone didn’t know they had. It’s delivering consistency in a world full of variables.

Earth Day reminds us of something simple, but powerful: the choices we make today shape the world our children, and their children, will inherit. At Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG), we take that responsibility seriously. Our work isn't just about precision and performance.

Measuring Torque, the Right Way Two shear strain gage half-bridges are pre-aligned on a single piece of polyimide film. This assembly wraps cleanly around the shaft, placing each gage exactly where it needs to be. No guesswork. No drift.

When force sensing meets intelligent design. Every 5000Ω full-bridge hybrid sensor we build is engineered for precision, durability, and integration at scale.

In 1978, the world was a different place. The first Apple II computers just got shipped. The Walkman hadn’t been invented yet. And Herb Roy was already making strain gages with precision and care. 47 years later, he still is. 💙

Alignment Isn't Optional – It's Essential! Accurate material property testing depends on more than just good sensors and software. It starts with mechanical alignment.

When Static Becomes Destructive: Resistors and ESD Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of those quiet threats in electronics—unseen, often undetected, but capable of quietly degrading or outright destroying components.

Ripple in Still Water: The Long-Term Impact of Precision Sensing If my tools did glow with the gold of sunshine… I’d use them to place one perfect strain gage—right where the story begins.

In October 1941, at the age of 14, Felix and his family were arrested by the Nazis and sent to the Grodno Ghetto. Dr. Zandman survived the Holocaust by hiding with his uncle Sender and other people under the floor boards in the house of a Polish family for 17 months.

Can a fence tell if you're trying to climb it? Or cut it? ✂️ It can if it's a smart fence. By installing precision strain gages on structural elements, a fence becomes more than a barrier. It becomes a sensor.

These aren’t your dad’s strain gages 😉 This is a complete force sensor: compact, integrated, and ready for installation. At the core is a high-precision strain gage, factory-installed on a custom-machined structural element designed to deform in predictable ways under load.

Are you looking for a workplace where you can take the wheel and drive success? Look no further than VPG! Our workforce learning approach prioritizes giving every employee the chance to take the lead and learn new skills.

The Wheatstone bridge is often the circuit of choice for making precise strain gage-based measurements. These bridges include one or more active strain gages installed on the part, and ultra-high precision foil resistors mounted inside the instrument for completing the circuit.

Advancing Smart Sole Instrumentation with Embedded Strain Sensing. These sensors measure strain by detecting small changes in electrical resistance as the shoe undergoes deformation under typical loading conditions, including walking, running, and directional changes.
