Welcome to the International Zone of the OFSCN forum.
This post highlights the versatile application of the OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating 3D Force Sensor. This sensor is specifically engineered for multi-directional pressure measurement on solid surfaces and specialized medical applications, such as puncture force sensing.
Key Technical Specifications
- Sensing Architecture: The unit utilizes a rigid carbide substrate with three FBG measurement segments arranged longitudinally at 120-degree intervals around the circumference. This design allows for the calculation of force vectors.
- Form Factors: Available in “Standard” and “Pen-style” (handheld) versions.
- Geometric Dimensions:
- Pen-style: Default outer diameter of 4.0 mm.
- Standard: Common diameters include 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm (custom diameters available).
- Tip Options: The sensing end can be customized as a flat head or sharpened for puncture requirements.
- Temperature Range: Designed for room temperature environments (-20°C to 55°C). For applications requiring thermal stability, we offer customized versions with integrated temperature compensation or external OFSCN® Fiber Bragg Grating Temperature Sensors.
