Multi-Axis Strain Gauge Rosette Assemblies for Complex Load Analysis
Strain Stress delivers precision rosette assemblies designed to measure multi-directional strain accurately
Overview
Strain gauge rosette assemblies are advanced sensor configurations used to measure strain in multiple directions at a single point. These assemblies are critical for analysing complex stress states where strain cannot be captured by a single linear gauge. By calculating principal strain and direction, rosette configurations support detailed structural diagnostics, fatigue assessment, and finite element model validation. This page presents an in-depth view of the design, application, and industry use of rosette assemblies, as well as their integration with digital data acquisition systems.
Strain Stress, a B2B company with a growing footprint across North America, supports engineers, manufacturers, and infrastructure teams with precision rosette assemblies that improve measurement accuracy and system performance. Our integrated technologies are built to withstand demanding environments and deliver the clarity needed for high-stakes decision-making. From bridges to aerospace components, we provide the tools and support needed to extract meaningful, actionable strain data from every surface.
