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...

SKU: SF-SEN-08713 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. 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...

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...

SKU: SF-SEN-13261 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun OpenScale is an open-source weight measurement board designed for load cells. Simply connect a four-wire or five-wire load cell of any capacity, plug into USB, open a serial terminal at 9,600 bps, and you...

SKU: SF-SEN-27314 | Brand: SparkFun

SpectraFlex is a flexible bend sensor for measuring angular deflection in research, industrial and personal electronics projects. As the sensor bends, its resistance changes, making it suitable for reading movement or...
