Strain Gauge Trainer
Strain Gauge Trainer (Product Code: SLE/ETP/12) is a compact bench or desktop trainer used to show how resistance strain gauges work on three different structures in engineering and technical education labs. Bending, torsion and tension systems are loaded with a small and a large set of masses, and students compare measured strains with values calculated from theory. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a technical educational equipment manufacturer and OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Strain Gauge Trainer Used For?
Strain gauges sit inside load cells, torque sensors and structural monitoring systems, so every mechanical or instrumentation engineer needs to know how they behave. On this trainer, students hang masses on each structure, use the known dimensions to calculate stress and strain by hand, and then check their answers against the gauge readings. The bending beam shows tension on one face and compression on the other, while the torsion system shows how gauges set at an angle to a shaft pick up shear strain.
The most valuable exercise is rewiring the same structure as a quarter, half and full bridge and comparing the outputs, which shows why multi-gauge bridges give larger signals and better temperature compensation. Load and unload in equal steps to check that readings return to zero, and use the small masses for bending and torsion and the large ones only for tension.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades, and it is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Strain Gauge Trainer. The trainer is assembled at the company's own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and goes factory-direct to polytechnics, engineering colleges, TVET centres, dealers and importers. Ask us about replacement masses or other parts; the manufacturer handles those requests itself. Read the ScienceLab profile for more.
Related Materials Testing and Properties Equipment
Items that extend strain-gauge teaching beyond the trainer:
- Digital Strain Display — a sixteen-channel readout for larger strain-gauged experiments.
- Thin Cylinder — applies gauge skills to a pressurised thin-walled cylinder.
- Stiffness - Bending and Torsion — measures beam deflection to complement strain readings in bending.
- Mini Strain Gauge — a single gauge on a flexible strip for a quick classroom demonstration.
The Materials Testing and Properties category lists further stress and strain apparatus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which structures are included in the Strain Gauge Trainer?
The Strain Gauge Trainer includes three structures: a bending system with gauges for direct tensile and compression strain, a torsion system with shear/torque gauges, and a tension system. Each can be loaded and measured separately.
How are the structures loaded?
The Strain Gauge Trainer comes with two sets of masses. Students use the small set to load the bending and torsion systems and the large set to load the tension system, then compare measured strains with calculated values.
Can students compare different bridge circuits on the Strain Gauge Trainer?
Yes. On the Strain Gauge Trainer, students can connect quarter, half and full-bridge strain gauge circuits on each of the three structures and compare their performance, which is central to understanding practical strain measurement.
How much space does the Strain Gauge Trainer need?
The Strain Gauge Trainer is compact and fits on a bench or desktop, so it suits classrooms as well as laboratories. For exact dimensions and packed size, please ask us through the contact page before planning your room layout.
Who manufactures the Strain Gauge Trainer?
The Strain Gauge Trainer is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers buy it directly from the manufacturer rather than through a trader.
What should an enquiry for the Strain Gauge Trainer include?
An enquiry for the Strain Gauge Trainer should state the product code SLE/ETP/12, the number of trainers, whether you also need a multi-channel strain readout, and the delivery destination in India or overseas.
