pressure sensors
Measure applied force
Pressure sensors are devices that detect physical pressure and convert it into an electrical signal.
They measure force exerted by gases or liquids against a surface, used in applications from automotive systems to medical equipment: The pressure sensors in your tires alert you when they're low.
Also called pressure transducers.
