The FS Series Force Sensors provide precise, reliable force sensing performance in a compact commercial grade package. The sensor features a proven sensing technology that utilizes a specialized piezoresistive micro-machined silicon sensing element. The low power, unamplified, noncompensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable mV outputs over the force range.
Force sensors operate on the principle that the resistance of silicon implanted piezoresistors will increase when the resistors flex under any applied force. The sensor concentrates force from the application, through the stainless steel plunger, directly to the silicon sensing element. The amount of resistance changes in proportion to the amount of force being applied. This change in circuit resistance results in a corresponding mV output level.
The sensor package design incorporates a patented modular construction. The use of innovative elastomeric technology and engineered molded plastics results in load capacities of 4.5 Kg over-force. The stainless steel plunger provides excellent mechanical stability and is adaptable to a variety of applications. Various electrical interconnects can accept prewired connectors, printed circuit board mounting, and surface mounting. The unique sensor design also provides a variety of mounting options including mounting brackets, as well as application specific mounting requirements.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Compact commercial grade package
• Robust performance characteristics
• Adaptable product design
• Precision force sensing
• Electrically ratiometric output
• Extremely low deflection (30 microns typ. @ Full Scale)
• High ESD resistance 10 KV
• Available signal conditioning
• Optional terminal configurations
MOUNTING
Sensor output characteristics do not change with respect to mounting orientation. Care should be taken not to obstruct the vent hole in the bottom of the housing. Improper venting may result in unstable output.
APPLYING FORCE
Evaluation of the sensor is to be performed using deadweight or compliant force. Application of a rigid, immobile force will result in output drift (decrease) as elastomeric seals relax. Off-center plunger loading has minimal effect on sensor performance and maintains operation within design specifications.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
1. Medical infusion pumps
2. Kidney dialysis machines
3. Load and compression sensing
4. Variable tension control
5. Robotic end-effectors
6. Wire bonder equipment
