NEW: Accurate measurement with strain gauges - basic knowledge
Fine strain measurement enables the detection of loads and changes to components. Strain gauges are particularly precise here, as they record the strain directly on the component surface. Deformations cause a change in resistance in the strain gauge that is proportional to the strain. In our free white paper ‘Correct measurement with strain gauges - basic knowledge’, we explain the functionality, properties and advantages of strain gauges as well as the most important influencing variables and characteristic values.
Whitepaper: Accurate measurement with strain gauges
Learn all about the functionality, properties, advantages, influencing variables and characteristic values of strain gauges.
About this whitepaper
Strain gauges can be used to test the material properties of materials for specific applications. As part of an experimental stress analysis, the small and easy-to-apply strain gauges can also be used to check component properties and possible mechanical stresses directly in the application on the component.
In this white paper you will learn all about the functionality, properties and advantages of strain gauges and get an overview of the most important types and for which applications they are suitable. In the chapter ‘Influencing variables’, important terms such as carrier material, K-factor and temperature behaviour are explained. Finally, in the ‘Installation’ chapter, you will find out which installation options are available and what you need to bear in mind when using the various methods.
With this knowledge, you will be able to select the right strain gauges for your material and the right installation option.

Setting up and commissioning an IIoT solution
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is regarded as a pioneering technology for process monitoring and data analysis in companies. The main problems lie in networking, a lack of standards and a multitude of protocols. Althen Sensors & Controls and M&L AG have published a free white paper on this topic, which shows how to set up and successfully commission an IIoT solution, from selecting the platform with wireless acceleration sensors to monitoring and commissioning, and provides practical assistance.

Setting up and commissioning an IIoT solution: from selecting the platform with wireless acceleration sensors to monitoring and commissioning.
About this whitepaper
By 2025, more than 75 billion networked devices are expected worldwide, forming the foundation for the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT encompasses many areas, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which was developed specifically for industrial applications. According to McKinsey, the IIoT will generate sales of over 500 billion US dollars.
Companies such as M&L AG and Althen GmbH have specialised in this growing market and offer strategic consulting and complete solutions in the IIoT sector. Their cooperation aims to cover the entire IIoT value chain. A practical question is used to show how an IIoT solution from the two companies was implemented.
