Force Sensors

Force sensors are electronic devices that are used to measure the magnitude and direction of a force, such as pressure, weight, or acceleration. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial systems. A force sensor typically consists of a sensing element, such as a strain gauge, piezoelectric crystal, or capacitive element, and signal conditioning circuitry, which converts the output of the sensing element into a measurable electrical signal. The specific design and operating characteristics of a force sensor depend on the intended application and the range and resolution of forces to be measured. Some force sensors are designed to measure a specific type of force, such as pressure or acceleration, while others are more versatile and can measure a range of forces.
