02/05/09 FlexiForce Sensor User Manual (Rev G) 7
INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use Tekscan's FlexiForce Sensors. These sensors are ideal for
designers, researchers, or anyone who needs to measure forces without disturbing the dynamics
of their tests. The FlexiForce sensors can be used to measure both static and dynamic forces (up
to 1000 lbf.), and are thin enough to enable non-intrusive measurement.
The FlexiForce sensors use a resistive-based technology. The application of a force to the active
sensing area of the sensor results in a change in the resistance of the sensing element in inverse
proportion to the force applied.
