Ultra-thin, Single-Element Miniature Force Sensors

Pressure Profile Systems, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, unveiled the SingleTact, a high-performance miniature capacitive force sensor that delivers superior sensitivity and repeatability over resistive force sensors. It is an ultra-thin, single-element capacitive sensor that accurately and reliably quantifies forces and delivers strong performance including less than 1 percent repeatability errors with more than 3x the sensitivity of resistive force sensors.

A complete turnkey solution is available to engineers wishing to collect force data either in analog or digital configuration, while the versatile SingleTact interface board, which allows easy analog or digital I2C integration, can be customized for an engineer’s own application. A choice of 6 sensor configurations is provided, including 8mm and 15mm diameter sensors and a variety of force ranges from 100 grams to 45 kg full scale. SingleTact is ideal for OEM customers wishing to provide a “sense of touch” to their products.

Standard sensor configurations can be evaluated quickly using a turnkey data collection solution featuring open source sample code for Arduino and Windows PC applications, while custom-designed sensors are available to meet specific OEM application requirements.
