RP-C18.3-LT Thin-Film Pressure Sensor (FSR) 18.3x56mm

The RP-C18.3-LT thin-film pressure sensor is a flexible sensor with a rectangular sensing area of 18.3 x 56 mm, which is excellent for precise pressure measurements. With its ability to convert pressure into electrical signals, it provides reliable results in both static and dynamic applications. The sensor is made of highly conductive materials and a nanometer-thin pressure-sensitive layer that allows for particularly high sensitivity. It responds to minimal forces of just 20 grams and is still able to measure forces up to 6 kilograms. Its durability of over one million measurement cycles and quick response time of under 10 milliseconds make it an ideal choice for demanding projects. Thanks to its wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius, the sensor is also suitable for extreme environmental conditions. Its easy handling and versatile applications make it perfect for beginners and experienced developers alike. Whether in medicine, robotics, or monitoring, this sensor always provides precise results. With its ultra-thin design, it can be easily integrated into a variety of applications.

Features: 

• The rectangular sensing area offers a compact form factor of 18 x 56 mm.  
• The sensor is made of nanometer-thin pressure-sensitive layers and highly conductive materials.  
• The resistance decreases proportionally to the pressure force, allowing for precise measurement.  
• The trigger force of 20 grams provides high sensitivity.  
• The pressure measurement range extends from 20 grams to 6 kilograms.  
• The sensor is designed for over one million measurement cycles and is thus particularly durable.
