Strain gauge bonding in racecars is a critical process used to measure and monitor the strain (deformation) experienced by various components under the extreme conditions of racing.
We can perform bonding on virtually any component, including steering columns, torsion bars, droplinks, pushrods, anti-roll bars (ARB), pushrod tops, hubs, tie rods, toe links, A-arms, and even bike spokes! (Yes, you read that correctly!)
Panga Engineering LLC is well-known for its exceptional expertise, offering a temperature compensation process up to 250°F (with options available upon request), a compact strain gauge amplifier that delivers a 0-5V analog output, and a personalized calibration process. Leveraging our extensive knowledge in this field, we proudly serve racing series such as IndyCar, IndyNXT, IMSA, and NASCAR, as well as various automotive manufacturers.
A strain gauge is a sensor used to measure the amount of strain or deformation in an object. It consists of a thin metallic foil arranged in a specific pattern and is attached to the surface of the object being measured. When the object deforms, the strain gauge deforms as well, causing a change in its electrical resistance, which can be measured and correlated to the amount of strain.
Tension/Compression Strain Gauges are specialized sensors designed to measure the amount of strain or deformation in a material when subjected to tensile (stretching) or compressive (squeezing) forces.
Common examples are damper top, damper eyelet, droplink, ARB, tie rod, toe link, sway bar, pushrod, A-Arm
Torsion Strain Gauges are specialized sensors designed to measure the amount of strain or deformation caused by torsional (twisting) forces applied to a material.
Common example is steering column or torsion bar.
Flexion strain gauges are essential tools for accurately measuring bending or flexural strains in materials and structures. By capturing the strain resulting from bending forces, they provide valuable data for ensuring the safety, performance, and durability of various components and systems.
