The FlexiForce® A201 force sensors are trimmable, paper-thin, flexible strips with a circular active area of 3/8" diameter at the end. They can be used for any application that requires a non-intrusive force or load measurement.

FlexiForce® sensors utilize pressure-sensitive inks that change resistance with applied force for a voltage output that can be converted to force units with a simple calibration procedure. They can measure forces up to 1000lbs (4.4kN) and can be customized for large-quantity OEM needs.

The A201 force sensor model is terminated with a solderable male square pin and is designed for use with your own electronics (i.e. excitation circuit & multimeter). The B101 models are for use with the ELF System, an affordable, turn-key load measurement kit.

Users can customize the length of the sensors, or Tekscan can trim the sensor to lengths of 2" (50.8mm), 4" (101.6mm), or 6"(152.4mm), for an additional charge.

SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS: Sensing Area = 0.375"/9.5mm diameter; Sensor thickness = 0.008"/0.208mm; Width = 0.55"/14mm; Length = 8"/200mm; Operating temperature = 5F/-9C to 140F/60C (165F/74C for loads less than 10 lbs.). Does not handle shear stresses, water submersion sharp interface materials, or harsh corrosives. See our FlexiForce® Specifications page and FAQ Guide for more answers to your questions.
