Aerospace & Defense Engineering Services
Strain gauging, structural testing, rugged measurement systems, and embedded LabVIEW — for clients reaching incredible heights.
When it comes to developing products and processes in aerospace, ITM has it covered — from measuring the stress load of an airplane’s landing gear, to installing strain gauges on rocket components, to gathering more than a thousand channels of data. We provide software development, structural and mechanical testing, strain gauge installations, and data analysis to clients on five continents — available for small-scale, short-term testing or complex, long-term programs that run for weeks at a time.
How ITM serves Aerospace & Defense
Strain Gauging Services
Quantify stress, strain & force on the real asset to verify FEA models and estimate fatigue life.
Aerospace & Defense in the field
Going to new heights with aerospace clients
In a very real way, ITM’s engineers go along for the ride during plenty of crucial moments in the aerospace realm — from launch-pad data collection to flight-hardware qualification.
Strain gauging on the real asset
Quantifying stress, strain, and force with real-world strain gauge measurements is commonly used to verify FEA models and estimate a component’s fatigue life. Our engineers and technicians have planned and implemented challenging strain gauge installations for customers around the globe.
Going old school to deliver new solutions
A recent defense-contractor job required a complete CAD design, a custom cabinet enclosure, and hundreds of electrical components to be designed and assembled — plus complex data collection from the tests. ITM delivered on both, thanks to its proprietary iTestSystem software and some good old-fashioned ingenuity.
Have an aerospace or defense measurement challenge?
Whether it’s a single test or a multi-week program, an ITM engineer will help you scope the right approach.

Torque-based Edge Insights: ITM iTestSystem Automated Analytics + Binsfeld TT50
In industrial and marine environments, the drivetrain is often the most critical — and least monitored — part of the system. Rotating shafts transferring torque through gearboxes, couplings, and propellers generate enormous forces that, left unmeasured, become the root cause of unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance cycles. Traditional torque measurement solutions require shaft…
