Force Sensing Resistors
|
|
|
Force Sensing Resistors (FSR) are a polymer thick film (PTF) device which exhibits a decrease in resistance with an increase in the force applied to the active surface. Its force sensitivity is optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices. FSRs are not a load cell or strain gauge, though they have similar properties. FSRs are not suitable for precision measurements. |

Flexiforce Pressure Sensors
|
|
|
These sensors are ideal for measuring forces without disturbing the dynamics of a test. They can be used to measure both static and dynamic forces. They are thin enough to enable non-intrusive measurement. The resistance of the sensor decreases as force is applied. |
