Contact pressure/force sensor

Started by Unknown June 20, 2006
I am looking for tactile pressure/force sensor with digital output that
I
could embed in my aaplication. That should sense small variation in
pressure/force put by finger on the object.Could anyone please suggest
products of different manufacturers?

thanks in advance

I have evaluated piezo resistive devices before, made with some kind of special ink between kapton. These are variable resistive elements that need a little bit of support circuity to have a digital output. I doubt that any force sensor is going to provide a digital out. These force sensors are available from DigiKey. It's been a few years. Can't remember the name.
