Ultra Thin Capacitive Force Sensor 8 mm 1N 0.2lbs SingleTact

DESCRIPTION

RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.

The ultra-thin capacitive force sensor 8 mm 1N 0.2lbs by SingleTact delivers incredible performance. The single-element capacitive sensor accurately and reliably quantifies forces and produces superior sensitivity and repeatability over resistive force sensors. It has a repeatability error less than 1% of FSR, is very accurate and easy to use.

Only 0.35mm thick, these enable you to collect force and pressure measurements between two surfaces in contact through open source sample code for Arduino and Windows PC application or using a simple Analog 3-wire interface for immediate DAQ integration.

Note: Measuring capacitance can be challenging so we recommend that you use the capacitive force sensor electronics board to provide a convenient voltage output and a digital I2C interface.
