Force Sensing Resistor
A Force Sensing Resistor is a thin, flexible sensor that detects changes in pressure or force by varying its electrical resistance. Its compact design makes it a practical solution for applications requiring pressure and force measurement in limited spaces.
These sensors are easy to integrate and offer consistent performance in detecting subtle or significant force variations. Their adaptability ensures reliable data collection for various configurations.
Reliable and Versatile Force Detection
Force Sensing Resistors provide a simple yet effective way to measure force and pressure changes in compact spaces.
How FSR Works
A Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) is a thin, flexible sensor that detects changes in pressure by varying its electrical resistance. When force is applied, the sensor's resistance decreases, enabling it to measure force changes effectively. FSRs are designed for general force detection rather than precise measurements, making them suitable for basic input and pressure monitoring.
