Square shaped Force Sensor

• The flexible sensor has the characteristics of flexible ultra-thin, ultra-low power consumption and extreme speed response, etc.
• Small size, this flexible pressure sensor is based on new nanometer pressure-sensitive materials supplemented by ultra-thin film substrate.
• This pressure sensor has the characteristic of high stability, high consistency.
• Highly sensitive flexible nanometer materials can realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. When sensor detects outside pressure, the resistance of sensor will change.
• Pressure signal can be converted into a corresponding electrical signal output using simple circuit.

Square shaped Force Sensor

Square-shaped force sensors are usually made of a spring element, such as a metal beam, diaphragm, or cylinder, that is deformed when a force is applied to it. This Force Sensor has a sensing area of 1.75 x 1.5″, sensing area and it will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ. 

This Pressure Sensor can sense force anywhere in the range of 100g-10kg and can be easily integrated with Microcontrollers, Arduino Boards, Raspberry Pi, etc. using Analog to Digital converters (ADC).  

Applications:

• Pressure-sensitive touch user interface
• Tactile sensor for robotic appendages
• Drum pad for an electronic instrument
