Measure with confidence. Analyze with precision. Understand with clarity.

When your structure is complex, your measurements shouldn't be. Engineers across aerospace, automotive, medical, and manufacturing trust the VPG ecosystem to capture the full mechanical picture:

🟦 Micro-Measurements Rectangular Rosettes
Unlock principal strains and directions in multi-axial stress fields. Engineered for accuracy where it matters most. Available in gage lengths as small as 0.015” for even the steepest strain gradients.

📊 Micro-Measurements Strain Gage Instrumentation
Purpose-built for precise data acquisition. High resolution, low noise, and rock-solid stability—optimized for strain gages.

📐 VPG Displacement Sensors
Capture minute deflections and movement in real time. Rugged, precise, and ready for the lab or the field.

🧲 VPG Force Sensors
From miniature load cells to heavy-duty transducers—measure tension, compression, shear, or torque with confidence.

🧠 StrainSmart® Software
The glue that brings it all together. Real-time acquisition, rosette transformation, visualization, and reporting—all in a single platform.

Whether you're testing a carbon fiber wing, an orthopedic implant, or a control arm under fatigue—VPG delivers the tools to measure, monitor, and make smarter decisions.

$Small-Scale Sensor Designed For PCB Reliability Testing. Cracks in the PCBs — brittle fractures in solder and even across components, particularly around BGAs — can be induced by in-circuit test fixtures and during assembly, burn-in and testing, system integration, and packaging and shipping. The new Advanced Sensors Technology C4A-XX-G1350A-120 rectangular rosette gage is designed to detect PCB surface strains at critical locations in consumer electronics. C4A-XX-G1350A is miniature-scale strain gage (gauge) sensor designed to meet the growing demand for precise, stable, and reliable stress analysis of PCBs, even in harsh environments. Strain measurements should be made after all design iterations of the PCB, including changes to on-board components, which may alter thermal stress loading. This is especially useful when introducing new solder materials and processes, which may have a different stiffness and introduce a different soldering thermal profile. The miniaturization of consumer electronics — and consequent increase in component density — results in larger thermal stresses, new requirements for surviving repeated loadings, and a greater need for impact stress survival. Meeting these specifications requires accurate knowledge of strains in the PCB and on-board components. Strain gage measurement is the quickest, most accurate, and most cost-effective method for identifying strains on a PCB, and can be used in developing loading fixtures and test plans to optimize the testing phase. The solution is miniature-scale strain gage (gauge) sensor designed to meet the growing demand for precise, stable, and reliable stress analysis of PCBs, even in harsh environments.
