The dynamic range of this small force sensor can be modified by changing the drive voltage and adjusting the resistance of the feedback resistor.

Applications: Testing and Measurement Equipment, Embedded Electronics, OEM Development Kit, Consumer Electronics, Multimeter

How to Adjust the Force Range: In order to measure higher forces, apply a lower drive voltage (-0.5 V, -0.25 V, etc.) and reduce the resistance of the feedback resistor (1kmin.) To measure lower forces, apply a higher drive voltage and increase the resistance of the feedback resistor.

Typical Performance:

• Linearity (Error): < 3% of Full Scale (Line drawn from 0 to 50% load)
• Repeatability: < 2.5% (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)
• Hysteresis: < 4.5 % of Full Scale (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)
• Drift: < 5% / logarithmic time (Constant Load of 25 lb (111 N))
• Response Time: < 5 sec (Time required for the sensor to respond to an input force; Impact load recorded on Oscilloscope)
• Operating Temperature: -40C – 60C (-40F – 140F)

Package Includes: 1 x FlexiForce A301/1 Force Sensor
