Force Sensor Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TWL-9193
Jlab Export is a leading Force Sensor Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
This small board-mounted force sensor turns a push of up to 3 kg into an analog voltage. It is meant as an input device for a PC interface, for presence sensing, pressure switches and simple scales, and not for exact weighing. The output is ratiometric, and the board measures 2.8 cm x 3.0 cm.

Classroom Experiments with the Force Sensor
A good first exercise is the response curve. Students rest a small tray on the sensor and add masses from a set of Hangers with Slotted Weights in steps, noting the output each time. Comparing the plot with balance readings shows why the sensor suits switching and presence work rather than weighing.
Fixed to the end stop of a track, the sensor gives a sharp pulse when a Dynamic Trolley runs into it slowly. A faster trolley gives a taller pulse, and a stiffer bumper makes it taller and narrower, which leads into a lesson on impulse. In electronics and computing classes the sensor becomes a pressure switch. The PC interface reads its voltage and sets a digital output when a press passes a chosen level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the force sensor be used as a weighing scale?
Not for real weighing. It shows whether a load is present and roughly how hard something presses, which is enough for simple scale models and switches. For mass readings in practicals, use a lab balance.
What is the maximum force it can take?
The maximum is 3 kg, about 29 N. Keep presses and impacts below this, and for trolley collisions start with slow runs before trying faster ones.
What does ratiometric output mean?
For a given force the output is a fixed fraction of the supply voltage. If the supply rises or falls, the output moves in proportion. Read it against the same supply that powers the sensor, as most PC interfaces do on their analog inputs.
How do I connect it to a computer?
Take its analog voltage output to an analog input of a PC interface, for example one with 8 analog inputs, 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. The interface software then shows the reading and can switch outputs when a threshold is reached.
