The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and ‘tap’ inputs from a user....

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: DF-SEN0160 | Brand: DFRobot

A digital weight sensor kit based on the HX711 24-bit ADC, capable of measuring up to 1 kg. The HX711 is designed specifically for weight scale applications, interfacing directly with a bridge sensor to deliver precis...

SKU: SF-SEN-13332 | Brand: SparkFun

This disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to a whopping 200kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in res...

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...

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: DF-SEN0294 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a circular flexible thin film pressure sensor of short legs with a diameter of 18.3mm, which can be used to realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. The sensor is durable and designed to sense static an...

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: SF-SEN-09198 | Brand: SparkFun

The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and ‘tap’ inputs from a user....

SKU: SF-SEN-09197 | Brand: SparkFun

A flexible piezo vibration sensor from Measurement Specialties, commonly used for detecting flex, touch, vibration, and shock. The PVDF polymer film generates a small AC voltage (up to ±90 V) when it moves, which can ...

SKU: SF-SEN-08681 | 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 po...

SKU: AF-178 | Brand: Adafruit

A 100 mm linear soft potentiometer (ribbon sensor) manufactured by Spectra Symbol. This pressure-sensitive ribbon controller features an adhesive backing for easy mounting and provides a variable resistance output bas...

SKU: AF-182 | Brand: Adafruit

This sensor can detect flexing or bending in one direction. They were popularized by being used in the Nintendo PowerGlove as a gaming interface.These sensors are easy to use, they are basically resistors that change ...

SKU: SF-SEN-13331 | Brand: SparkFun

This single disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 50kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response...

SKU: SF-SEN-13329 | Brand: SparkFun

A straight bar load cell (strain gauge) that translates up to 10 kg of force into an electrical signal. Built from aluminium alloy with four strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration, it measures the change i...

SKU: SF-SEN-09674 | Brand: SparkFun

This very long force sensitive resistor - over 2 feet - has a sensing area of 0.25x24". This FSR from Interlink Electronics will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area....
