The FlexiForce A401 Force Sensor is ideal for various applications including Testing and Measurement Equipment, Embedded Electronics, OEM Development Kit, Consumer Electronics, and Multimeter.
How to Adjust the Force Range: Measurement ranges of 0-1 lb and 0-7000 lb are achievable with the A401 sensor by utilizing the recommended circuitry. The force range can be extended by reducing the drive voltage, VT, or the resistance value of the feedback resistor, RF. Conversely, the sensitivity can be increased for measurement of lower forces by increasing VT or RF.
