Force sensing resistors
Thin flexible printed pressure sensors where more pressure means lower resistance. Custom shapes and sizes from Linepro R and D, 0.6 mm thin with 10 ms response for wearables, robotics and industrial controls.
What Are Force Sensing Resistors?
A force sensing resistor is highly sensitive to resistance under applied pressure. More pressure on the surface means lower resistance. Produced through printing technology, the device is very thin and flexible, so it is also called a flexible printed sensor or printed pressure sensor.
It can be customized easily to any shape and size. Linepro develops these sensors at the interface of science and industry, with deep knowledge of materials, processes and printing for flexible and hybrid electronic systems.

Good to Know Before You Enquire
Three facts that shape your exact quotation.
Input of the device is applied force and output is resistance as per applied force.
Operates at 5 VDC with current in mA, 0.6 mm thickness and 10 ms response time.
Force sensing resistors are an evolution of membrane switches and use a similar design principle.
Pressing the surface closes the sensing loop and resistance falls as pressure rises, giving a simple analog force signal.
Widely used in automotive sensors, computer input devices, interactive toys, medical dispensing, musical instruments, sports equipment, robotics and wearable electronics.
