Force Sensors

By definition, a force sensor is a type of transducer, specifically a force transducer. It converts an input mechanical force such as load, weight, tension, compression, or pressure into another physical variable, in this case, an electrical output signal that can be measured, converted, and normalized. As the force applied to the force sensor increases, the electrical signal changes proportionally. Force sensors have become an integral part of many industries, including automotive, high-precision manufacturing, aerospace and defense, industrial automation, medical and pharmaceutical, and robotics, where reliable and highly accurate measurements are critical.
