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 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.
