Strain Gages

Since the invention of the strain gage more than 60 years ago, this technology has been continuously improved.

Starting with the single wire strain gages, a wide range of types for a great variety of different tasks was created in that time.

Our customers reward our continuous improvements in technology and quality by making HBM into market leader.

We offer you strain gages for a wide range of different applications. In additional to a wide standard range, we also produce customer-specific strain gages in large quantities.
