What is the “life” of a FlexiForce sensor?
The durablity of the FlexiForce sensor depends on the conditions to which it is exposed: magnitude of the load, the interface material, and the direction of the load (minimize shear). Under “normal” limits, the sensor typically can perform up to 1,000,000 cycles/applied loads. Our tests were performed by applying a 50 lb. impact load on the sensor, which was between two pieces of metal.
