Notes:

1. All force-related specifications are established using dead weight or compliant force.

2. The range of voltage excitation which can be supplied to the product to produce an output which is

proportional to force but due to ratiometricity errors may not remain within the specified performance

limits. Non-compensated force sensors, excited by constant current (1.5 mA) instead of voltage, exhibit

partial temperature compensation of span.

3. The output signal obtained when the zero force is applied to the sensor. Also known as "null" or "zero".

4. The change in the null resulting from a change in temperature .It is not a predictable error as it can shift

up and down from unit to unit. Change in temperature causes the entire output curve to shift up or down

along the voltage axis.

5. The algebraic difference between output signals measured at the upper and lower limits of the operating

force range. Also known as "full scale output" or simply "span".

6. The maximum deviation of product output from a straight line fitted to output measured over the operating

force range. The straight line through a set of points which minimizes the sum of the square of the

deviations of each of the points from the straight line.

7. The ratio of output signal change to the corresponding input force change. Sensitivity is determined by

computing the ratio of span to the specified operating force range multiplied by the supply voltage

being used.

8. The maximum deviation in sensitivity due to changes in temperature over the operating temperature

range, relative to sensitivity measured at 25 °C.

9. The maximum difference between output readings when the same force is applied consecutively, under

the same operating conditions, with force approaching from the same direction within the operating

force range.

10. The maximum force which may safely be applied to the product for it to remain in specification once

force is returned to the operating force range. Exposure to higher forces may cause permanent damage

to the product. Unless otherwise specified, this applies to all temperatures within the operating

temperature range.

CAUTION

EXCEEDING PRODUCT

OVERFORCE RATING

 Ensure the overforce

ratings given in Table 1

are not exceeded

during any phase of

sensor assembly to the

board, as well as during

the use of the sensor in

the application.

Failure to comply with

these instructions may

result in product

damage.

Notes:

1. The temperature range over which the product may safely be exposed without excitation or force applied. Under these conditions the

product will remain in specification after excursion to any temperatures in this range. Exposure to temperatures beyond this range may cause

permanent damage to the product.

2. MCTF is a basic measure of reliability for a non-repairable device. It is the mean number of cycles to maximum operating force over which

a sensor can be expected to operate until failure. The mean value is determined statistically from a probability distribution for failures

based upon test data. MCTF may vary depending on the specific application in which a sensor is utilized.
