0.5-inch force sensor measures pressure and force with high sensitivity, ideal for applications like weight detection, touch-sensitive systems, and robotics. Easily integrates with microcontrollers for real-time force measurement in interactive projects.
FORCE SENSOR(0.5 INCH)
A force sensor (0.5 inch), also known as a force-sensitive resistor (FSR), is a sensor that changes its resistance based on the amount of force or pressure applied to its surface. The 0.5-inch version refers to the active sensing area, which has a diameter of 0.5 inches. These sensors are commonly used in applications that require force or pressure measurement, such as robotics, consumer electronics, and medical devices.
