Ambient temperature bonders make clamping strain gauges fast and easy. These specialized suction cups replace cumbersome clamps, weights, springs, jacks, and custom jigs. Ambient bonders quickly secure gauges regardless of surface orientation, curvature, distance from edges, and features like rivets and lead wires.  Ambient bonders apply uniform pressure of approximately one atmosphere (14.7 psi) for making thin and even glue lines.
