For detecting roll pressure and pen pressure, as well as detecting gaps in contact and narrow areas.
Inastomer (pressure-sensitive conductive elastomer sensor) is a conductive type created by mixing conductive materials into rubber, which is traditionally considered an insulator. When lightly touched, it produces a small response, and the harder it is pressed, the larger the response becomes, with the resistance continuously changing based on the strength of the applied force. This product utilizes technology that delicately changes the electrical resistance value according to the pressure applied, and it is widely applied in autonomous robots, pen tablets, electronic musical instruments, and more. There is also a growing demand in fields such as pressure distribution measurement. 【Features】 - The sensor thickness is t=0.7 to t=1.0mm, allowing for detection in narrow areas. - The sensor detection area is small, ranging from 3.0mm to 5.0mm, enabling detection of subtle parts. - Easy to mount on bent or curved surfaces. - Can use a maximum current of 5mA, allowing for direct driving of LEDs. - Compared to strain gauge sensors, it offers higher flexibility. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
