Application

The extremely small dimensions of these compressive-force sensors allow them to be used for measuring static and dynamic compressive forces in spaces severely restricted by the presence of mounted structures.
The type 8416 is virtually predestined for use in micro-technology, though it is just as suitable for use in the research and development sectors.
Further applications of this ultra-miniature compressive-force sensor are found in:
device construction
production lines
measurement and control systems
testing systems
manipulation systems
universal testing machines, etc.
