Compression Force Sensors for Tight Spaces
Thinner than a credit card, these force sensors fit into narrow spaces to measure the applied load between two surfaces. While they’re less accurate than larger alternatives such as load cells and handheld force gauges, these will fit almost anywhere. Place them within an industrial press to make sure it’s operating in a safe range, or form them to the contour of a forklift seat to test the concept of adding a smart switch that detects when an operator is sitting and ready to operate the forklift. Sensors should be calibrated before first use. Also known as force sensing resistors.

Kits come with software to analyze data from sensors. Kits with USB-A connection include a hub that plugs into your computer’s USB port. Kits with Wi-Fi connection use a hub that wirelessly connects to a computer or tablet within a sensing distance of 210 feet. The hub’s transmitter is certified 802.11b radio – 802.11b/g/n to meet IEEE standards for compatibility with other devices.
Additional sensors and hubs (both sold separately) expand the connection kits.
To connect 3-pin and 2-pin sensors into hubs with a USB connections, adapters (sold separately) are required.

Strain Gauges
Glue these gauges onto a structure to measure strain in a single direction. They’re often used in structural testing and monitoring applications. Strain is the deformation or displacement of material caused by force.
Solder wire leads onto gauges with solder terminals after the gauge has bonded to your surface. After soldering, apply a protective coating.
Gauges with wire leads save you the effort of soldering wire to the gauge and checking to see that it’s bonded securely.
