Medical Pump Occlusion Sensor

The Medical Pump Occlusion Sensor provides reliable force sensing performance in a compact commercial grade package at a cost effective price. The sensor features Strain Measurement Devices proprietary 10 kOhm thin-film sputtered strain gauge technology applied to a stainless steel substrate providing a mV/V, mA, or digital output. The sensor provides a linear output when force is applied to the stainless steel ball and the substrate under the ball flexes in such a way that half of the Wheatstone bridge is in tension and the other half is in compression. The stainless steel substrate provides a physically robust sensor that has a linear temperature coefficient , unsurpassed accuracy and repeatability as well as reliable operation. Custom / bespoke packages are available to meet specific needs.
