FlexiForce™ sensors measure force between almost any two surfaces and are durable enough to stand up to most environments. FlexiForce sensors are ideal for integrating into OEM products because their thin, flexible profile allows them to measure forces where larger, bulkier technologies can not.
FlexiForce sensors can also be customized to meet the specific needs of your product design and application requirements.
There are 4 key uses for FlexiForce sensors. They detect and measure*:
*FlexiForce sensors must be calibrated by the user.
I was looking for a thin, flexible film to measure force in my device; something that would not interfere with its size. We looked at some competing thin film force sensors but your FlexiForce product was more accurate in terms of feedback and linearity. The technical expertise and product quality were also important for us since we needed to get through the FDA approval process. I would recommend FlexiForce sensors to any design engineer who is looking to measure force feedback without compromising the size or weight of the device

The FlexiForce sensor acts as a force sensing resistor in an electrical circuit. When the force sensor is unloaded, its resistance is very high. When a force is applied to the sensor, there is a proportional decrease in resistance. The conductance (1/Resistance) exhibits a linear response, as illustrated above. |
The unique construction of FlexiForce sensors brings the following advantages to your product design:
