Force Sensors (CFS)
Advantages of CFS
The force sensors manufactured by Clicktouch are based on an unique, advanced
technology to convert pressure, weight and force into an electrical resistance value. In
design, they are comparable to membrane switches and flexible switches, and are therefore
lightweight and low profile.
When pressure is applied to the sensor zone, the electronics inside the device will detect a
change in resistance. A similar pressure can be applied by a finger, a commonly used
actuator or by mechanical systems or robotics.
Depending on the materials used, the CFS can be used in a wide range of temperatures.
Typically, between -40°C and 100°C. By using specific materials, the temperature limit of
130°C may even be exceeded.
