inTACT MEMs Sensors

Intelligent Tactile Pressure Measurement
The inTACT series of force sensors are microelectromechanical (MEMs)
piezoresistive force sensors built from silicon using semiconductor
processing techniques. These sensors were designed and built to
address applications in which one needs to measure the pressure
or normal force between two contacting surfaces.

Overview

inTACT Sensor
Many applications need tiny force sensors that can be embedded into small areas without much room for signal conditioning electronics. For example, a 5mm x 5mm surgical probe that needs to measure applied loads in order to avoid rupturing delicate tissues. The inTACT series of force sensors were designed specifically for such applications. The sensor itself built using semiconductor processes is only 2mm x 2.5mm x 0.05mm in size and works with standard DC voltages. It can run on a 9V battery and outputs a robust 0-500mV signal for full scale loading. The sensor itself can be packaged into single or multiple sensor package for custom applications.

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.
