FlexiForce A502 Ultra Thin Force Sensor

A502 sensors are square standard sensors with a 2-pin male connector. They have a force range of 0-222 N (0-50 lb), specified with Tekscan electronics. The model is linear through a much lower range of 0-22N (0-5 lb), and is capable of measuring loads up to 44,482 N (10,000 lb).

The dynamic range of this mini 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 (1k min.) 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 111 N (25 lb))

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)
