The sensor features a proven sensing technology that utilizes a specialized piezoresistive micro-machined silicon sensing element. The low power, unamplified, non-pensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable m V outputs over the 1,500 gram force range. The force sensor operates on the principle that the resistance of silicon implanted piezoresistors will increase when the resistors flex under an applied force The sensor concentrates force from the application through the stainless steel plunger directly to the silicon sensing element. The amount of resistance changes in proportion to the amount of force being applied. This change in circuit resistance results in a corresponding m V output level. The sensor package design incorporates a patented modular construction. The use of innovative elastomeric technology and engineered molded plastics results in load capacities of 5.5 Kg overforce. The stainless steel plunger provides excellent mechanical stability and is adaptable to a variety of applications. Various electrical interconnects can accept pre-wired connectors, printed circuit board mounting, and surface mounting. The unique sensor design also provides a variety of mounting options including mounting brackets,...
