FlexiForce A301-100 Force Sensor

FlexiForce A301-100 Force Sensor is optimized for high volume manufacturing and ideal for embedding into products and applications.

The sensor has a force range of 0 – 100 lb. The force ranges stated are approximations. In order to measure forces above 100 lbs (up to 1000 lbs), apply a lower drive voltage, and reduce the resistance of the feedback resistor.
Applications

1. Testing and Measurement Equipment
2. Embedded Electronics
3. OEM Development Kit
4. Consumer Electronics
5. Multimeter

Typical Performance
Linearity (Error):  < ±3% of Full Scale (Line drawn from 0 to 50% load)

Repeatability:  < ±2.5% (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)

Hysteresis:  < 4.5 % of Full Scale (Conditioned Sensor, 80% of Full Force Applied)

Drift:  <5% / logarithmic time (Constant Load of 25 lb (111 N))

Response Time:  < 5 µsec (Time required for the sensor to respond to an input force; Impact load – recorded on Oscilloscope)
