- Prescon Sensors offer
state-of-the-art advanced technology by being able to
measure pressures as low as 1 gram and below with a
high degree of sensitivity.
- Prescon sensors convert physical
pressure to the electrical response of ohms.
- Specialized applications and design
configuration offer low activation thresholds
(.002 lbs. of pressure).
- They give decreasing resistance
values as applied pressure increases.
- They are currently available on
substrates such as Mylar, Ultem, Polyurethane, Lexan,
and printed circuit boards.
- They are light weight, have a low
profile, and can be adapted to almost any design and
application requirement due to thier uniqueness.
- The Prescon sensors are available in
a design that will give variable resistance output
with positive and negative pressures (e.g.,
push-pull).
- Prescon sensors will activate in the
presence of a magnetic field and thus give an ohmic
response indicating the relative magnetic field
intensity.
- A wide customized range of resistance
values for the initial threshold activation values are
featured.
- The Prescon sensors are uniquely used
in electronic polymer thick film membrane switches and
sensors, and in the fields of robotics, computers,
industrial controls, medical instrumentation, musical
instruments, sports enhancement, automotive systems,
games and toys, radio and video controls, security
systems, chemical and mechanical pressure systems, and
control panels in exposed or hazardous environments.
- The thick film polymers and materials
used in these sensors have surpassed 20 million load
life actuation and flexing cycles without failure and
will operate near the temperature limitation of the
polymer substrate.
- Prescon sensors offer new advanced
technology to the sensing areas of ergonomics,
control, measurement, and detection.
