MicroForce Sensors - FMA Series

Honeywell’s MicroForce enables intelligence in applications and increases efficiency for medical and industrial applications

Image of Honeywell's MicroForce Sensors - FMA SeriesHoneywell FMA MicroForce sensors are piezoresistive-based force sensors offering a digital output for reading force over the specified full-scale force span and temperature range. Honeywell FMA MicroForce sensors are fully calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and nonlinearity using an on-board application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Direct mechanical coupling allows for easy interface with the sensor, coupling with tubing, membrane, or a plunger. This easy interface provides repeatable performance and a reliable mechanical interface to the application. FMA sensors are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards. These sensors offer a more stable output, which is directly proportional to the force applied to the mechanically coupled sphere.
