STREAL

STREAL sensor

Semiconductor-Grade Strain Sensing for Smarter Machines

Bring precision force, load, and torque sensing to places traditional gauges can’t reach ; optimized for industrial, robotics, and IoT applications.

 

Key Benefits

  • Microscale precision for motion control, structural monitoring, and micromobility.
  • Compact, embeddable modules ideal for tight spaces.
  • Low power options for battery-powered and wireless systems.
  • Built-in intelligence: digital outputs, temperature compensation, self-diagnostics.
  • Product variants from ultra low power to high precision industrial grade.

 

Why Choose STREAL?

STREAL offers semiconductor-grade strain sensing directly on the factory floor. By combining sensitivity, compact form factor, and integrated electronics, STREAL enables new capabilities in domains where traditional strain gauges or load cells fall short.

  • High resolution and accuracy: detect subtle loads and dynamics that vibration sensors often miss.
  • Embedded usage: modules can be bonded to toolholders, robot joints, frames, composites, and other surfaces.
  • Power efficiency: certain variants consume only milliwatts, supporting wireless IoT nodes and battery systems.
  • Smart functions: select models offer on-chip ADC, temperature compensation, and self-diagnostic features.
  • Flexible porting: analog or digital outputs as suitable per design.
