Force Sensors For Design

In recent years, factors including consumer demand and a tough economy have pushed OEMs to produce sleeker, smaller, and more cost-efficient products. These products challenge designers to spec or engineer parts for increasingly tight space requirements. In this difficult situation even small components, such as force sensors, can play a surprisingly big role in the development of successful solutions. These needs encouraged the development of a patented, thin-film, flexible, and accurate force sensor, specifically targeting industry requirements for a low-cost, unobtrusive, force or pressure-measurement solution. This unique technology eliminates many of the challenges plaguing engineers in the design of streamlined products.
