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, making it excellent for precise pressure measurements. With its ability to convert pressure into electrical signals, it provides reliable results in static and dynamic applications. The sensor is made of highly conductive materials and a nanometer-thin pressure-sensitive layer, allowing for particularly high sensitivity. It responds to minimal forces of just 20 grams and can still measure forces up to 6 kilograms. Its durability of over a million measurement cycles and fast 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. The easy handling and versatile applications make it perfect for beginners and experienced developers alike. Whether in medicine, robotics, or monitoring, this sensor always delivers precise results. With its ultra-thin design, it can be easily integrated into a variety of applications.
