INNOVATIVE PNC MATERIAL CORE
Specific advantages
Using our proprietary PNC material as the core innovation of our sensor kit, we achieve the highest performance with our own specially developed readout electronics.
Various readout methods
The PNC material can utilize resistance or impedance to interpret mechanical force into an electrical signal.
Compression in microns
The PNC material has a thickness of 0.4 millimeters and allows precise measurement of up to 85 micrometers of compression.
Absolute measurements
PNC material changes its electrical conductivity through compression. In a compressed state, the measured values remain constant without the need of a null reference point.
Long-term stability
If the PNC material is subjected to a long-term load, the sensor material returns to its original shape and is not deformed.
Overload resistance
The PNC material is saturated with 200N for a sensor with a diameter of 20 mm, but the material is not destroyed by overloads of up to 6200N.
Temperature stability
The base material is a medical-grade elastomere. The handling temperature of the PNC material is from -20 to 230°C and has not shown degradation in this temperature range.
