Standard Force Sensors
Whether for integrating into a device design, or for your test & measurement project, our standard FlexiForce sensors are available in several shapes, force ranges, and operating capabilities.Perfect for Prototyping
Tekscan offers a wide range of off-the-shelf FlexiForce sensors for design engineers considering the technology for their embedded design. Most of our customers start with standard sensors early during their prototyping/proof-of-concept stage.- Affordable: To keep costs manageable, these sensors are made available in four- and eight-packs for purchase from our online store.
- Diverse capabilities: Sensors available in high-temperature (up to 200°C (400°F)) formats, and also Enhanced Stability Series (ESS) formats for high-humidity operating conditions.
- Flexible to your design’s needs: All sensors can be trimmed to whatever size or shape your application requires. Read our best practices for trimming FlexiForce sensors.
- Position sensors are also available: The FlexiPot™ Strip and Ring tactile potentiometers and/or position sensors are used to identify location or position and adjust output.
