Strain gauge selection made easy

Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH (HBM) is now offering a unique configurator for the selection of suitable strain gauges (SG). The user is helped, step by step, to find the right SG, regardless of which type of manufacturer products were previously in use.

Rapidly finding a suitable SG is a key requirement due to the great variety of strain gauges that are available. With the aid of a new intelligent search program, the user can quickly find the appropriate SG by selecting typical parameters such as geometry, size, resistance, connection options, protection, etc. A graphical display and information about the technical data provide a clear basis for making decisions. The SG can be ordered via the web shop in the next step with just one mouse click and the user can find out immediately when it is available.

The well-stocked HBM warehouse means that most SG can be dispatched within one day, guaranteeing incomparable delivery times.

The right SG can also be found and ordered without entering the main parameters. In many cases, the order code of the previously used SG can be sufficient and this works even with SG from other suppliers. The part number can be easily converted without any commitment on the HBM website. Just as in the step-by-step search process, checking the availability and ordering are just a few mouse clicks away.
