Honeywell FSS Low Profile Force Sensors

Honeywell FSS Low Profile Force Sensors deliver precise and reliable force sensing in a compact form, ideal for commercial-grade applications. These sensors feature a proven piezoresistive sensing technology with a specialized micromachined silicon sensing element. The FSS low profile force sensors operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and linearity of ±0.5% span. These devices provide a maximum output resistance of 6kΩ and an excitation voltage range from 3.3V to 12.5V. Typical applications include infusion pumps, occlusion detection, enteral pumps, robotic end-effectors, and wire bonding equipment.
