Cooper Instruments & Systems manufactures three categories of force sensors: Flexiforce paper thin sensors, micro force sensors, and thin film load cells. The paper thin sensors feature a load range of 1 to 1000 lbs, while the micro force sensors have load range of 0-1500 grams. The thin film load cells feature load range of 0-12,500 grams and repeatability of 0.05 percent.

Measurement Specialties designs and manufactures force sensors and industrial load cells used in medical pumps and monitors, robotics, compression sensing, variable tension control, and seat occupancy applications. The force sensors feature output of 100mV or 1-4v, with ranges of 1.5, 3, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 2000 Lbf.
