pressure sensor
Measures applied force
A pressure sensor is a device that detects physical pressure and converts it into an electrical signal.
Pressure sensors measure force exerted by gases or liquids in applications ranging from automotive systems to medical equipment: The tire pressure sensor triggered a warning light.
Also called a pressure transducer.
