Design engineers have always faced unique challenges in specifying force sensors, or force transducers. 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. "Force Sensors for Design," a newly-published white paper from force sensor experts Tekscan, Inc. illustrates how to find a force transducer with the right combination of performance, cost, turnaround-time, engineering support from the manufacturer, and more.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 -- OEM design engineers have always faced unique challenges in specifying force sensors, or force transducers. "Force Sensors for Design," a newly-published white paper from Machine Design magazine and force sensor experts Tekscan, Inc. illustrates that, in addition to finding a force transducer 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. Proper guidance is essential.
