Square shaped Force Sensor

Square-shaped force sensors are usually made of a spring element, such as a metal beam, diaphragm, or cylinder, that is deformed when a force is applied to it. This Force Sensor has a sensing area of 1.75 x 1.5?, sensing area and it will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR its resistance will be larger than 1M?. 

This Pressure Sensor can sense force anywhere in the range of 100g-10kg and can be easily integrated with Microcontrollers, Arduino Boards, Raspberry Pi, etc. using Analog to Digital converters (ADC).  

Applications:

• Pressure-sensitive touch user interface
• Tactile sensor for robotic appendages
• Drum pad for an electronic instrument
