Force Sensor RP-L-170

20gr/10kg 170mm Resistive Thin Flexible Film Pressure Sensor Analog Output Pressure Force

     RP-L-170 is a flexible structured thin film based pressure force sensor with a length of 170 mm. It provides the possibility to measure forces between 20gr and 10kg with high precision. It has very low power consumption and has an extremely fast response time. It has a thin long structure.

     The pressure sensor is produced in a thin structure from conductive material. On the upper part, the pressure sensing layer is coated with film. On the lower part there are thin film and conductive materials. When pressure occurs from the upper part, they contact at the conductive parts on the lower part. In this way resistance change occurs. As the force increases, the output resistance decreases.

     Thanks to its ultra thin and flexible structure, it can be easily integrated into narrow spaces, curved surfaces or wide contact areas. It allows monitoring of force density, intensity and application frequency. With these features, it is preferred in many professional applications such as pressure switches, bed and presence detection systems, smart shoe soles, medical and rehabilitation devices.

     The sensor does not generate EMI and ESD, it works noiselessly. Thanks to its low creep value, it maintains measurement stability under long term static load. With its high cycle life, it is suitable for industrial and continuous use scenarios.
