A load cell or weight sensor is often referred to as a force sensor. They are employed to gauge load, strain, and compression. The metal framework of many has internal strain gauges attached to it that respond to even the slightest compression by changing their resistance and providing feedback on the outcomes.
It is possible to measure and detect micro forces. It is simple to handle and put together a device from the body’s light weight and small size.
Load cells, pneumatic load cells, capacitive load cells, strain gauge load cells, hydraulic load cells, etc. are a few types of force sensors. There is a category of force transducers in addition to force sensors.
The global Fiber-Tip Micro Force Sensor (FTMS) market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The Guangdong and Hong Kong Joint Research Centre for Optical Fiber Sensors at Shenzhen University has recently created a Fiber-Tip Micro Force Sensor (FTMS) that measures adhesion forces with previously unheard-of levels of micronewton sensitivity.
The most recent edition of Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) – Biosensors features their research findings.
A fibre-tip microforce sensor (FTMS) capable of detecting incredibly weak forces has been created thanks to the study of the professor’s team.
The FTMS was used to measure the adhesion forces at the nano- and microscales between interfaces. A popular technique for 3D creation in nanotechnology is femtosecond laser two-photon polymerization (TPP) nanolithography. Femtosecond TPP was used to construct the extremely accurate FTMS at Prof. Wang’s lab.
On a single mode fibre, a micron-sized clamped-beam probe was 3D printed (SMF). The distance between the clamped-beam probe and the fibre face produced a Fabry-Perot microcavity, as stated in the MDPI-Biosensors report.
The FTMS was able to detect weak forces thanks to its distinctive configuration. The clamped-beam probe will experience forces that change the length of the Fabry-Perot cavity.
