What is the difference between piezoelectric sensors and sensors based on strain gauges?
Virtually all force measurements can be performed by either sensors based on strain gauges or piezoelectric sensors. All other measuring principles occupy only the smallest niches in this market. The choice of the appropriate measuring principle is strongly dependent on the requirements and priorities of the user: approx. 80 percent of all measuring tasks can be handled by means of both strain gauge sensors and piezoelectric sensors.
