Pressure and force sensors
Differential pressure and force sensors engineered with the same high-performance technology
essentially the same concept in two forms in both strain-gauge and piezo-resistive design.
The big difference is that pressure is a scalar quantity, meaning that force, when applied to a smaller area will produce greater pressure than when applied to a larger surface area. While force is a vector, meaning it has magnitude as well as direction and these sensors only detect a single axis of force applied to one point and in one direction.
Combining top suppliers’ capabilities with our own in-house expertise, we can assist with design, you can also benefit from access to advanced prototyping centres to help develop your ideas, access dedicated production capabilities and supplier expertise to enhance production and get designs to market faster.
