RP-L-400 Thin Film Pressure Sensor (FSR) 400x15mm

The RP-L-400 thin-film pressure sensor is a flexible sensor with a length of 400 mm and a width of 15 mm, ideal for precise pressure measurements in various applications. This sensor converts pressure into electrical signals and offers reliable and accurate measurement for both static and dynamic pressure conditions. With a trigger force of just 20 grams, the sensor is extremely sensitive while also being capable of measuring forces up to 10 kilograms. Thanks to its robust construction made of nanometer-thin pressure-sensitive layers and conductive materials, it is durable and designed for more than a million measurement cycles. The fast response time of under 10 milliseconds makes it ideal for real-time applications. The sensor remains reliable even in extreme environments, as it can operate in a wide temperature range from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Whether in robotics, medical applications, or smart devices — this sensor offers high precision and versatility. Its length also makes it excellent for linear pressure distributions.
