The FT-S Microforce Sensing Probes are Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based microforce sensors capable of measuring forces from 2 Newtons down to sub-nanonewtons (10-10 N) along the sensor’s probe axis. Both compression and tension forces can be measured. The outstanding long-term stability and low signal drift guarantees significantly higher measurement accuracy than any other force sensing system in this force range. The accuracy of the FemtoTools SI-traceable calibration process is ensured by comparative measurements with the Swiss National Institute of Metrology (METAS).
The Microforce Sensing Probes are available with a wide variety of tip materials and geometries including diamond Berkovich, cube corner, flat punch, wedge, conical and more.
