Honeywell FSA Series

The FSA series are piezoresistive force sensors that provide a ratiometric analog or digital output for measuring force over the specified force and temperature range. They are fully calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and nonlinearity using an integrated application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Functions

Honeywell force sensors are typically used in infusion pumps to monitor and control the delivery of fluids, medications, or nutrients to patients. They are used in a non-invasive manner and do not require disinfection or sterilization before reuse. 

  • Monitoring the delivery of fluids, medications, or nutrients to patients
  • Detecting blockages and determining when the bag of fluids or nutrients needs to be changed
