New White Paper from Tekscan Helps OEM Design Engineers Navigate the Force Sensor Selection Process
OEM engineers have always faced unique challenges in specifying force sensors, or force transducers. In addition to finding a sensor with the right performance specifications, challenges include issues such as cost, turnaround-time, engineering support from the manufacturer, customization capabilities, off-the-shelf options for prototyping and/or lower quantities, and more. With an abundance of available force sensors on the market, from load cells to strain gauges to thin and flexible resistive technology, selecting the right sensor for a particular application can be overwhelming. In addition, with more and more engineers working across disciplines in their positions, many product designers find themselves in unfamiliar territory at times.
Tekscan understands the significance of these challenges, and has responded with a newly-published white paper. "Force Sensors for Design," combines an educational background about the various types of force sensing technology on the market with real-life examples of customers who have benefited from thin and flexible, but accurate, sensing technology. "Force Sensors for Design" helps engineers understand the options and arms them with the right questions to ask a potential supplier.
