8″ FlexiForce 0-100lb. Resistive Force Sensor
This thin FlexiForce sensor is compact and easy to integrate. Measures up to 100 lb of force.
The FlexiForce sensor is an ultra-thin and flexible printed circuit, which can be easily integrated into most applications. With its paper-thin construction, flexibility and force measurement ability, the FlexiForce force sensor can measure force between almost any two surfaces and is durable enough to stand up to most environments.
FlexiForce has better force sensing properties, linearity, hysteresis, drift, and temperature sensitivity than any other thin-film force sensors.
The "active sensing area" is a 0.375” diameter circle at the end of the sensor.
Features
- Measure up to 100 pounds of force
- Thin, flexible form allows for versatile applications
- Connects directly to a Phidgets Flexiforce adapter
Connection
This FSR connects to an InterfaceKit or Hub through a FlexiForce adapter.
