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-08712 | 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 ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but th...

SKU: DF-SEN0068 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a piezoresistive force sensor. The harder you press, the lower the sensor's resistance. Pressing lightly, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the re...

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....

SKU: DF-SEN0616 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity: Thin-film Pressure Sensor measures pressure through the deformation of a flexible film material. As pressure increases, the film deforms, producing higher analog output values, while lighter pressure resu...

SKU: AF-5974 | Brand: Adafruit

The Adafruit HX711 Breakout is a high-resolution 24-bit differential ADC designed for reading load cells, strain gauges, and other Wheatstone bridge sensors. With selectable 64× or 128× gain on Channel A and fixed 32×...

SKU: SF-SEN-21669 | Brand: SparkFun

This straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 10kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in respons...

SKU: AF-4542 | Brand: Adafruit

A 10 kg strain gauge load cell for measuring force, weight, and tension. The strain gauge is epoxy-bonded to a robust aluminium bar that protects the delicate foil element and constrains deflection to a safe range. As...

SKU: DF-SEN0298 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a circular flexible thin film pressure sensor of long legs with a diameter of 7.6mm, which can be used to realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. The sensor is durable and designed to sense static and ...

SKU: DF-SEN0299 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-L-400 is a long, flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a 400 mm active length. It detects both static and dynamic pressure by converting applied force into a variable resistance — resistance decreases as pres...
