Force & Flex Sensors

SKU: SF-SEN-10293 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple piezo element that can be used as both a sensor and a small audio transducer. When flexed or tapped, it generates a voltage that can be read by a microcontroller, making it ideal for knock and vibration detec...

SKU: SF-SEN-14727 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 100g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: SF-SEN-09376 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a force sensitive resistor with a square, 1.75x1.5", sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the res...

SKU: SF-SEN-08606 | Brand: SparkFun

A simple flex sensor 4.5" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Gl...

SKU: AF-166 | Brand: Adafruit

The Interlink 402 is a round force-sensitive resistor (FSR) with a 12.7 mm (0.5″) sensing area. It changes resistance based on applied pressure — the harder you press, the lower the resistance — making it a simple, lo...

SKU: SF-SEN-08680 | Brand: SparkFun

These are very thin variable potentiometers. By pressing down on various parts of the strip, the resistance linearly changes from 100Ohms to 10,000Ohms allowing the user to very accurately calculate the relative posit...

SKU: SF-SEN-09673 | Brand: SparkFun

A compact force sensitive resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics with a 4 mm (0.16″) diameter active sensing area. The resistance changes based on applied pressure — from over 1 MΩ with no pressure down to approxim...
