1 Product Overview
The Variense FSE103 is a unique 3-axis force sensor, which means it can measure up to three components
of force. It is a round sensor with a diameter of 39 mm and a sensing range of 100 N. All multi-axis force
sensors work by exhibiting a variation of signal when forces are exerted on their surfaces; but the new digital
FSE103 is based on capacitive technology that provides enhanced sensitivity without compromising signal
integrity. The result is low system noise and reduced measurement errors. Intelligent functionality, maximum
sensitivity and ultimate compactness ensure that this sensor will answer your needs.
