Characteristic Description Value Notes
Actuation force Force to reach 10MΩ < 20g Average of 100 samples
Force range linear region of log/log Up to 1kg Higher forces can be achieved with
custom sensor and actuation methods
Long term dri 1kg for 48hrs < 2% Per log time
Single part repeatability 100 actuations of 1kg 5% 1 standard deviation/mean
Part to part repeatability 100 sensors same batch +/– 10% 1 standard deviation/mean
Low temp. storage –20°C for 250hrs 2% Avg. change in resistance of 5 sensors
High temp. storage +85°C for 250hrs 9% Avg. change in resistance of 5 sensors
High humidity storage +85°C/85%RH for 250hrs 10% Avg. change in resistance of 5 sensors
Lifecycle durability (1M) 1kg force at 3Hz 4% Avg. change in resistance of 4 sensors
Hysteresis 100 actuations of 1kg 5% Avg. change in resistance of 100 samples
Operational temp. range 100 cycles at 0.5kg –20 to +60°C
Linear resistance Resistance between
pins 1 and 2 +/– 15% Average of 100 parts same batch
