Intelligent Force Measurement using Revolutionary Capacitive Sensors
Please Note that Flex series sensors are not currently in production. If interested in placing large quantity orders, contact us for further discussions.
For small quantity orders, please consider the other sub-miniature load cells RSB5 and REB5 that might be potential substitues for the iLoad Flex.
RSB5 sensor comes in 10 lb, 50 lb, and 100 lb capacities, and has diameters less than 10 mm and height as low as the 3.5 mm. REB5 sensors are available in 2 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 100 kg with a diameter less than 13 mm and height as low as as 7 mm.
The Flex series of sensors are designed to address applications where size is of critical importance. They are based on our patented capacitive force sensing technology which offers unprecedented sensitivity in a rugged and tiny package. The high level analog (0-5V DC) or digital Serial/USB outputs, makes it easy to incorporate into OEM products or into test & measurement and process control applications. |

Potential Applications
These sensors enable a wide variety of OEM applications at an attractive and affordable cost point. We provide generous application prototyping, testing and development support to OEM customers who want to utilize this revolutionary technology.
How it works
Simply connect the load cell to the CI-1000 Digital Load Cell Interface & use the USB out port on the CI-1000 to connect to a PC via the USB port. The load cell appears on the PC as a virtual COM port. Using a standard terminal emulator send commands to the sensor to display loads on screen. They can either be one at a time or in continuous operation mode. Alternatively, use an application (LoadVUE or LoadVUE Lite) to simplify load measurements on a PC.
Possible Configurations

These sensors can be built in a single sensor format or as an array of sensors that can be used to perform pressure measurements on a flexible surface.
