FSRs are versatile pressure sensors ideal for detecting physical pressure, squeezing, and weight. As resistors, their resistance value changes in response to applied force, offering a range rather than precise measurements. While not suited for exact weight detection, they effectively measure forces up to 100 Newtons due to their enhanced sensitivity for stronger pressures. The sensors are crafted from plastic, with connection tabs on delicate material.
They can be easily connected using a breadboard, alligator clips, female headers, or terminal blocks. Soldering is possible but requires precision to avoid damaging the sensor. FSRs excel in scenarios like monitoring grip strength or adjusting robotic grip sensitivity, where a range of force feedback is adequate. Their economical and user-friendly design makes them suitable for a variety of practical applications.
