FSE103 DATASHEET-1

Technical Data Sheet Force Sensors Variense FSE103 is a unique multi-axis force sensor. Multi-axis force sensors are robust mechanical devices that exhibit a variation in signal when force is exerted on the surface of the sensor. This sensory information can then be used to improve the user’s control of electronic devices in industrial and robotics applications, such as automotive electronics and medical systems. • Cost effective The new digital FSE103 is a round sensor with a diameter of 39 mm, that can measure up to three components of force. It is based on capacitive technology, which is highly adaptive to various applications. Intelligent functionality, maximum sensitivity and ultimate compactness ensure that the sensor will fit your system proprely. Custom sensors can be manufactured in sizes ranging from 30 mm to over 600 mm. You can also customize the protocols of communication to suit your needs. • Ultra compact at just 39 mm in diameter • Robust to surrounding noise • User friendly and easy to integrate Potential Applications Industrial • Sense load and compression • Detect obstacles and impact forces Robotics • Control force exertion • Detect object weight while grasping Rehabilitation • Measure athletic performance • Orthopedic research Automotive • Measure forces during crash testing
