Description

Tekscan manufactures standard, high temperature, and custom FlexiForce ® force sensors. OEMs use a custom designed force sensor in product to act as feedback control or counting device. Tekscan also provides multiple setups to obtain force data from our FlexiForce ® sensors. Choose the system that best suits your needs. Both systems are available in both single-point and multi-point configurations. Standard FlexiForce sensors and ELF ™ force measurement systems are available for purchase online .

“I encountered Tekscan and had the feeling of an engineer’s dream come true. Working with granular materials and soil-structure interaction, one encounters problems with large stress variations. My observations in a journal paper published by ASTM in 1997 continue to hold: The ability of the grid-based tactile pressure sensor’s system to provide real-time normal stress distribution over an area is unmatched by any other known technique.

Tekscan's ELF force and load measurement system matches the market's need for an inexpensive load and force measurement system with Tekscan's ability to deliver innovative load and force measurement solutions. The system consists of data acquisition hardware, software, and FlexiForce ® B201 sensors.

Tekscan's innovative tactile pressure distribution systems measure static and dynamic events. These systems are capable of measuring critical surface interface pressure with minimal interference. Extremely thin, flexible sensors provide highly accurate pressure readings. Tekscan manufactures over 200 different sensors in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and resolutions. Custom pressure sensors can also be created to meet your specific application requirements. Vivid graphics, displayed on a PC, make the information easy to interpret and provide the user with excellent documentation.
