What is a Small Force Sensor?

A small force sensor is a miniaturized device that detects and measures applied force or pressure, converting it into an electrical signal. Despite their size, these sensors can measure forces ranging from a few grams to several kilograms, depending on their design.

Common small force sensor types include:

  • Force-Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) – Thin, low-cost, used in wearables & touch devices

  • Miniature Strain Gauge Load Cells – High precision for industrial & research use

  • Piezoelectric Sensors – Suitable for dynamic force measurement
