FSR Force Sensitive Resistors
FSR force sensors feature an ohmic resistor whose resistive value decreases when pressure is applied.
Two polymer layers are laminated together to obtain sensors less than 1 mm thick: one layer is covered with a network of electrodes and the other with a printed semi-conductor.
Good measurement repeatability (±2%).
Low sensitivity to noise and vibration.
Service life greater than 10 million cycles.
Uses: keypads, robotics, security, automotive, medical devices etc.
