Micro-Measurements Releases Advanced Sensors Technology CEA and EA; Good News for Strain Gage Users
July 13 2020 - 8:00AM
Micro-Measurements®, a Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG)
brand, today announced the successful integration of Advanced
Sensors Technology in its new CEA-Series and EA-Series strain
gages. Designed for general purpose, static and dynamic
stress analysis, the new CEA and EA strain gage sensors are
ideally suited for a broad range of applications including
structural health monitoring, autonomous vehicles, aviation,
robotics & automation, smart load cells, and condition
monitoring.
The new Micro-Measurements’ CEA-Series universal strain gages
builds on approximately 70 years of proven usage and the
installation of hundreds of thousands of field-tested
devices. Offering a constantan grid completely encapsulated
in polyimide, with large, rugged copper-coated tabs, these CEA’s
provide for ease of application, reduced installation time, high
reliability, low total cost of installation. Constructed with
constantan foil in combination with a tough, flexible, polyimide
backing, the EA-series is available in a wide range of options
available including strain range from ±3% for gage lengths
under 1/8 in (3.2 mm) and ±5% for 1/8 in and over.
Built with Advanced Sensors Technology, a revolutionary
enhancement in strain gauge manufacturing, the CEA-Series and
EA-Series are manufactured with tighter tolerances and improved
gauge-to-gauge consistency. Advanced Sensors Technology
applies tangible specification and manufacturing process
improvements, along with industry-exclusive strain gage sensor
design techniques, for direct customer benefit. The innovation
behind Advanced Sensors Technology reflects many decades of
Micro‑Measurements R&D experience, gained across a global
portfolio of thousands of successful applications, with other
refinements achieved via ongoing customer feedback.
For general-purpose stress analysis applications, the new series
of strain gages are a drop-in replacement for traditional CEA and
EA strain gages, and are available for purchase through the
Micro‑Measurements on-line shop:

Ron Zukerman, Sr. Manager of Sales & Marketing for
Micro-Measurements Advanced Sensors, said: “In today’s demanding
world of product and structural design, the use of technically
superior strain gages can provide significant advantages to the
engineering development process, and offer improvements in material
savings, weight, reduction, failure prevention, and shortened
design-to-development time. Payoffs like these can make a
difference in bottom-line profitability for companies that deploy
Experimental Stress Analysis (ESA) in their engineering
process.”
