AE 801 Micro Force Sensor (sensor total length: 10mm (0.39 inches))

The AE801 is a multipurpose sensor element designed to convert micro mechanical quantities such as force, pressure, position, and acceleration to electrical signals.

bullet Small Size
bullet Easy to Mount
bullet High Stability
bullet Low Impedance
bullet High Output Signal
bullet Response from DC to 5kHz
bullet Low Cost


A single crystal silicon beam with one ion implanted resistor on each side is mounted in a special miniature header. A deflection of the beam gives a change in the resistors; one will increase in value and the other will decrease.

In most applications the element is connected with two passive resistors to form a Wheatstone Bridge, giving an electrical output signal proportional to the deflection of the beam. The cylindrical header of the sensor element makes it easy to mount and makes mechanical stable measuring devices with good long-term stability possible.

The AE801 element is being used in a large variety of applications covering the military, medical, industrial control and other fields where the well-proven and easy to use design makes it a reliable and cost effective solution.
