RP-L-170 Thin Film Pressure Sensor (FSR) 170x15mm

The RP-L-170 thin-film pressure sensor is a flexible sensor with a length of 170 mm, specifically designed for highly sensitive pressure detection. It is characterized by its durability and ability to detect both static and dynamic pressure with high response speed. Its properties make the sensor ideal for applications that require the measurement of pressure intensity and frequency. The innovative construction of ultra-thin film layers and pressure-sensitive materials allows precise conversion of pressure into electrical signals. The simple installation and use make this sensor versatile, for example, in medical devices, monitoring systems, or smart sports equipment. The sensor operates reliably over a wide temperature range and is designed for more than one million cycles. With a fast response time of less than 10 milliseconds, it is optimal for real-time applications.

Features: 

• The sensor consists of a thin pressure-sensitive film layer and highly conductive materials.  
• The output resistance decreases proportionally to the pressure force, enabling accurate measurement.  
• It measures static and dynamic pressure up to a frequency of 10 Hz.  
• The trigger force is less than 20 grams, guaranteeing a very sensitive activation.  
• The sensor has a lifespan of over one million measurement cycles.  
• It operates reliably at temperatures from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.  
• The response time is less than 10 milliseconds, allowing for the detection of rapid changes.  
• It does not generate electromagnetic interference and shows only minimal drift values.  

Application Examples:  

• Pressure switches in electronics.  
• Monitoring systems for beds.  
• Use in medical devices for pressure measurement.  
• Integration into smart sneakers for motion analysis.  
• Robotics applications for detecting contact forces
