Metal foil strain gauge based technology facilitates a design of a Load Transducer through the following ‘Lehman’ described process (by department):

1. A Load Transducer ‘flexure,’ a physical unit comprised of high strength materials, is designed and fabricated by FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies Engineering Team and In-House Machine shop, respectively.
2. Metal foil strain gauges are then bonded to a diaphragm or most sensitive area of physical design by FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology’s Lamination Department.
3. The Metal foil strain gauge Wheatstone bridge configuration is then wired by our specialized department while accounting for temperature compensation affects of the transducer/sensor.
4. When Our NIST Traceable Calibration Department applies a mechanical load, a weight of tension or compression direction, the strain gauge then does its magic by capitalizing in this mechanical deformation and thus producing an electrical resistance change proportional to the load.
