Honeywell FSS Low Profile Force Sensors

Honeywell FSS Low Profile Force Sensors provide precise and reliable force sensing in a compact package for commercial systems. These sensors use proven piezoresistive technology with a specialized micromachined silicon sensing element. The FSS low profile force sensors operate from -40°C to +85°C, with ±0.5% span linearity and 3.3V to 12.5V excitation. Applications include infusion pumps, occlusion detection, enteral pumps, robotic end-effectors, and wire bonding equipment.
