Product catalog summary
Product Features and Principles of Operation
OEM Sensor Solutions offers a range of sensors for measuring force, pressure, strain, and torque. The sensors operate on the principle that mechanical loading causes deformation, which is detected by strain gauges. These gauges form a Wheatstone bridge that converts resistance changes into voltage signals, allowing for the measurement of mechanical quantities.

Key Features
  • High space efficiency with footprints as small as 4x4 mm.
  • Easy integration and modular design tailored to specific installation needs.
  • High reliability and overload protection, withstanding loads up to ten times the nominal range.

Product Specifications
  • Force Sensors: Measurement range from 0.5 N to 10 MN, dimensions starting from 4x4 mm.
  • Pressure Elements: Measurement range from 2 to 2000 bar, dimensions from Ø 4 mm.
  • Strain Sensors: Measurement range up to 1000 μm/m, dimensions from 5x5 mm.
  • Torque Sensors: Measurement range from 10 Ncm, suitable for dynamic processes.

Technology and Customization
The company combines thin-film and foil strain gauge technologies, offering compact designs and high scalability. They provide customized sensor solutions through direct collaboration with engineers, utilizing FEM simulations for optimal design.

Integration and Connection Options
  • Various connection methods including welding, screwing, and clamping.
  • Substrates made from steel or aluminum, with dimensions ranging from 4-50 mm in length and width.

Applications and Case Studies
Senstech provides solutions for various challenges, such as monitoring uterine contractions, measuring yarn tension, and ensuring accurate drug delivery. Their sensors are used in medical, automation, and process control applications.

Company Overview
Senstech AG, part of the iST Group, is a Swiss manufacturer specializing in thin-film and metal foil strain gauges. They are ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified, emphasizing rapid prototyping and agile development to support customer needs globally.
