Hoffmann + Krippner Announce Printed Polymer Strain Gage

Hoffmann + Krippner is now shipping its new P-DMS Polymer Strain Gage. The solution is based on sensor paste technology on a PCB (printed circuit board) and is for measuring pressure.

Requiring no moving parts, the P-DMS can be very accurate and long lasting, the company states. As the strain gage can be directly printed on the application’s control board, it does not need to be connected by wires. This enables compact and affordable designs, as well as eliminating the failure points of wire failure and corrosion. It also eliminates electrical sparking as the key contacts come together.

According to a press release, it is available in a wide variety of customized sizes and shapes.
