The first truly 3 axis force sensor designed to be in direct contact with the surface.
Description

Features:
Measures slippage and shear forces
Robust design
Safe overload by up to 600% the nominal value
Sensitive silicone surface
High water, acid and heat resistance
Technology
The patented OptoForce sensor technology is based on a radically new way of measuring forces. Compared to strain-gauge based load cells, OptoForce transducers are generally much more robust, as the deforming surfaces are physically separated from the sensing element.
In short, we are using infrared light to detect the smallest deformation in the shape of the outer surface. We are using different kinds of optical grade elastomers to achieve the most reliable results.
