Honeywell Force Sensor - FSS1500NST

Product Overview The FSS1500NST is a low profile Force Sensor with electrically ratiometric output. The FS series sensor provide precise reliable force sensing performance in a compact commercial grade package. The sensor features a proven sensing technology that uses a specialized piezoresistive micro machined silicon sensing element. The low power, unamplified and uncompensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable mV outputs over the force range. Force sensor operate on the principle that the resistance of silicon-implanted piezoresistors will increase when the resistors flex under any applied force. The sensor concentrates force from the applications, through the stainless steel ball, directly to the silicon-sensing element. The amount of resistance changes in proportion to the amount of force being applied. This change in circuit resistance results in a corresponding mV output level change. True surface mount technology Maximum peak reflow temperature of 260°C Robust performance characteristics Precision force sensing Reliability rated at 20 million MCTF at 25°C Extremely low deflection High ESD resistance 8kV Available signal conditioning Applications Sensing & Instrumentation, Medical, Robotics Warnings Personal injury do not use these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury.
