For best results, the seven steps shown on this series of slides should be followed when beginning any new product design, proof-of-concept, technology evaluation, or first prototype implementation. The first step is to start with reasonable expectations, to know the sensor. The FSR sensor is not a strain gauge, load cell, or pressure transducer. While it can be used for dynamic measurement, only qualitative results are generally obtainable. Force accuracy ranges from approximately ±5% to ±25% depending on the consistency of the measurement and actuation system, the repeatability tolerance held in manufacturing, and the use of part calibration.
