Force Sensors for Research & Development
PCB's quartz-based, piezoelectric force and strain sensors are durable measurement devices with exceptional characteristics for measuring high frequency dynamic force and strain events. Typical measurements include dynamic and quasi-static forces encountered during actuation, cutting, crimping, compression, impact, impulse, reaction, and tension.
