FSS1500NST

FSS1500NST is a FSS low-profile force sensor provides precise reliable force sensing performance in a compact commercial-grade package at a cost-effective price. The sensor features a proven sensing technology that uses a specialized piezoresistive micromachined silicon sensing element. The low power, unamplified, uncompensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable mV outputs over the force range. Force sensor operates on the principle that the resistance of silicon implanted piezoresistor will increase when the resistors flex under any applied force. The sensor concentrates force from the applications, through the stainless steel ball, directly to the silicon-sensing element.
