1.5-inch force sensor with high sensitivity for detecting pressure and force variations, perfect for applications like pressure-sensitive systems, robotics, and load measurement. Easily integrates with microcontrollers for precise, real-time force feedback in various projects.
A force sensor (1.5 inch), also
known as a force-sensitive resistor (FSR), is a type of sensor
that changes its resistance when force or pressure is applied to its surface.
The 1.5-inch version refers to the diameter of the active
sensing area, which is larger than the 0.5-inch variant. This increased sensing
area makes it more suitable for applications requiring broader pressure
distribution or larger contact points.
