IMRC's Prescon™
pressure sensors offer a unique, cutting edge technology
to convert physical pressure, weight and force to a
quantifiable electrical value of ohms resistance.
The Prescon™ sensors are similar in design to membrane
switches and flexible circuits, thus they are lightweight
and have a thin, low profile.
The pressure sensors
produce a variable resistance with varying pressure.
Resistance is inversely proportional to pressure in the
sensors; e.g., as pressure increases on the sensor,
resistance decreases. When the resistance decreases
the sensor becomes a better electrical conductor for
current passage.
Even though the actual
mechanism to convert physical pressure to an electrical
valve is a complex combination of proprietary materials,
the pressure conversion to decreasing ohms can be thought
of as a water faucet valve. When the valve is closed
(e.g., no applied pressure), no water will flow through
(no current passes). When the valve is opened
(pressure applied), water flows (current passes).
IMRC's pressure sensors are available with different
resistance ranges just as different size faucets and
valves are available for different water flow rates
IMRC's Prescon™
pressure sensors provide state-of-the-art advancements
that are detailed in the following product literature.
