Force & Flex Sensors

SKU: AF-1917 | Brand: Adafruit

The Sensor Film Kit is a great new way to make custom-sized sensors out of force sensitive material. This kit includes one piece of black plastic sensor film (it's thicker and more durable than Velostat but simi...

SKU: AF-4931 | Brand: Adafruit

This thin silvery ribbon is an interesting sensor. It's made of 2mm wide by 600mm long piezoelectric film sandwich. Piezo film can be used to detect motion or vibration - when shifted around or touched, it create...

SKU: PL-1696 | Brand: Pololu

This force-sensing resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component that exhibits a decrease in resistance when there is an increase in the force applied to the 0.58″-diameter (1.5 cm) active area...

SKU: SF-SEN-08679 | Brand: SparkFun

A thin, flexible membrane potentiometer that senses finger or stylus position along a 200 mm strip. Pressing anywhere on the strip varies resistance linearly from 100 Ω to 10 kΩ, providing accurate positional data for...

SKU: AF-4540 | Brand: Adafruit

A strain gauge is a type of electronic sensor used to measure force or strain (big surprise there). They are made of an insulating flexible backing with a metallic foil pattern. The resistance of a strain gauge change...

SKU: SF-SEN-14728 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 500g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: DF-SEN0086 | Brand: DFRobot

A simple flex sensor 2.2" 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 G...

SKU: DF-SEN0047 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, 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 t...

SKU: DF-SEN0065 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a small force sensitive resistor. It has a 0.16" (4 mm) diameter active sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the fo...

SKU: DF-SEN0066 | Brand: DFRobot

The FlexiForce is a thin, flexible piezoresistive force sensor that measures applied pressure from 0 to 100 lbs (440N). The harder you press on the circular sensing area, the lower the sensor's resistance — from effec...

SKU: SF-SEN-11207 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor’s resistance. Pressing hard, the resistance changes from infinite to ~50k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the...
