The Honeywell force sensors operate on the principle that the resistance of silicon implanted piezoresistors will increase when the resistors flex under any applied force. The Honeywell sensor concentrates force from the application, through the stainless steel plunger, 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. Variety of package styles are available.

Best Used For:
Medical equipment such as infusion pumps, anesthesia monitors, non-corrosive non-pressurized media-level sensors, ventilation systems, blood pressure equipment, syringe pumps and drug delivery systems. Electric interconnects such as prewired connectors, printed circuit board and surface mounting.
