Honeywell FMA MicroForce Sensors
Honeywell 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 onboard 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.
