Detect proper tube positioning

Many other force measurement applications 

 

Force Sensing Resistors
Force Sensing Resistors™ (FSR™) are robust, polymer thick film (PTF) devices that exhibit a decrease in resistance when increased pressure is applied to the surface of the sensor. This force sensitivity is optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices such as automotive electronics, medical systems and industrial PCs.
