Linearity
The following illustration graphs a
sensor's response to pressure (this graph represents a
sensor with an activation of 2.5 grams). The graph
portrays the general type of non-linear response
that can be expected in applications and design with the
sensors. Ohmic response characteristics and the
initial activation weight will be determined by the
application and requirements.

Drift/Hysteresis
If the sensor is to remain under a
constant load, the resistance output will remain within a
certain percentage tolerance. In terms of hysteresis,
there is a difference in sensor output response during
unloading and loading. Variables such as sensor
operating range, load level and loading method, and
temperature will have a slight effect on the percentage of
drift and hysteresis.
Testing
Independent lab testing has
determined that the Prescon sensors will surpass 1 million
threshold actuations without failure. The Prescon
sensors have also surpassed 1 million shock/vibration
testing cycles without failure.
The preceding information gives the
general properties of the Prescon sensor's capabilities.
Many of the characteristics can be modified as IMRC has
the leading edge technology to customize all parameters.

would be pleased to work with you for special applications
and requirements.
