FlexiForce A301/1 Force Sensor

The A301 is optimized for high volume manufacturing and ideal for embedding into products and applications.

The dynamic range of this small force sensor can be modified by changing the drive voltage and adjusting the resistance of the feedback resistor.

Applications

1. Testing and Measurement Equipment
2. Embedded Electronics
3. OEM Development Kit
4. Consumer Electronics
5. Multimeter

How to Adjust the Force Range:

In order to measure higher forces, apply a lower drive voltage (-0.5 V, -0.25 V, etc.) and reduce the resistance of the feedback resistor (1kmin.) To measure lower forces, apply a higher drive voltage and increase the resistance of the feedback resistor.

Typical Performance

Linearity (Error):< 3% of Full Scale (Line drawn from 0 to 50% load)

Repeatability:< 2.5% (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)

Hysteresis:< 4.5 % of Full Scale (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)

Drift:<5% / logarithmic time (Constant Load of 25 lb (111 N))

Response Time:< 5 sec (Time required for the sensor to respond to an input force; Impact load recorded on Oscilloscope)

Operating Temperature: -40C 60C (-40F 140F)*

* Force reading change per degree of temperature change = 0.36%/C (0.2%/F)

Package Includes:
