It is available in 0 N to 5 N, 10 N, 15 N, and 20 N versions, all featuring extremely low deflection characteristics. The sensor operates based on the principle that the resistance of silicon-implanted piezoresistive elements increases when subjected to bending forces. A stainless steel plunger (offering exceptional mechanical stability and adaptability) concentrates the applied force onto the silicon sensing element.
The resulting proportional change in resistance generates a corresponding millivolt output level variation. Its patented modular encapsulation design utilizes innovative elastomer technology and engineered molded plastics to achieve overload tolerance up to three times the rated force. It supports multiple electrical connection methods (compatible with pre-wired connectors, PCB mounting, and surface mounting) and offers various mounting options, including mounting brackets.
