When measuring pressure, it is sometimes necessary to isolate the sensing element from the material being sensed. For example, sensing mechanisms can be damaged or destroyed by corrosive fluids or ...

The development of flexible pressure sensors has various potential applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, and artificial electronic skins. Microfluidic tactile diaphragm pressure sensor.

The surface area of the plunger and the degree of spring compression determine the amount of pressure necessary to actuate the switch. When pressure on the plunger exceeds that exerted by the spring, ...
