Flex Force Sensor Technology Overview

How Flex Force Sensors Work

A flex force sensor helps you measure how hard you press on something. When you push on the sensor, its electrical resistance changes. If you press harder, the resistance gets lower. The sensor has a flexible base, a spacer, and a layer that conducts electricity. When you press down, the conductive layer touches the circuit. This lets electricity move through. This setup helps you see force right away.

SOUSHINE’s force sensors use this idea to give results you can trust. You can put these sensors on flat or curved things. They are thin and bendy, so they fit in many devices without making them big.
