 Selecting adhesive and bonding tools
To obtain good measurement results, the strain gage must be bonded completely
to the measuring object. Thus, it is important to select a suitable adhesive for the
materials of the measuring object and gage base and for measuring conditions.

Gage Pressers
Gage Pressers G-MATE
The G-MATE can apply pressure to a bonded strain gage continuously until the adhesive is
cured. It consists of a frame equipped with a strong ferrite magnet to firmly fix the object
under testing and a presser disk equipped with silicon sponge rubber and coil spring to apply
constant pressure to the strain gage.
