Tekscan, Inc. announced its newest off-the-shelf single-element force sensor. The A502, Tekscan’s largest off-the-shelf FlexiForce sensor to date, offers a 50.8 x 50.8 mm (2 x 2 in) square sensing area, affording design engineers more options for testing and prototyping.
 
In keeping with the standard FlexiForce sensor profile, the A502 sensor is paper-thin at just 0.2 mm (0.008 in) thickness.
 
“OEM design engineers face a number of challenges in specifying components, but designing in sensors shouldn’t be one of them,” said Mark Lowe, VP of sensors at Tekscan. “Our goal at Tekscan is to ease the prototyping process for design engineers by offering a variety of low-cost, off-the-shelf sensors in different shapes, sizes, and force ranges.”
