Force Sensors

Force sensors detect applied force, converting it into electrical signals. They come in various types: strain gauge load cells measure deformation by changes in resistance, piezoelectric sensors generate voltage from stress, capacitive sensors gauge capacitance alteration due to force, and optical sensors detect deformation optically. Used extensively in industrial automation, medical devices, automotive testing, and consumer electronics, they offer accurate force feedback. Considerations include accuracy, durability, calibration needs, and response time. These sensors play a pivotal role in measuring and controlling forces across a broad spectrum of applications.
