Applications of the Mini SEJ-Z Low-Load Sensor<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mini SEJ-Z sensor is used in all industries where forces of less than 5 N need to be measured accurately:<\/p>\n

Luxury cosmetics and fragrances <\/span><\/strong>
\nMeasurement of the actuation force of miniature pumps, the trigger forces of fine-mist spray mechanisms, and the opening forces required for delicate closures on high-end bottles. The typical forces exerted by these mechanisms are in the range of 1 to 5 N.<\/p>\n

Medical and Medical Devices<\/span><\/strong>
\nMeasurement of the activation force of auto-injectors, pen injectors, and implantable devices, where the force required for activation is a regulated safety parameter.<\/p>\n

Electronics and miniature components<\/span><\/strong>
\nTesting the actuation force of microswitches, touch keypads, and connectors; measuring the engagement force of miniature connectors on printed circuit boards.<\/p>\n

Textiles and flexible materials<\/span><\/strong>
\nMeasuring the tensile force required to break a thread, testing the strength of a seam, or verifying the adhesion of an adhesive on lightweight materials; validating precision mechanisms; and conducting repeatability studies on miniature actuators.<\/p>\n

Why a mechanical stop is essential for low-load sensors<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Force sensors designed for very low loads are inherently fragile: their sensing element is calibrated to measure forces of just a few newtons, which makes it vulnerable to impacts and accidental overloads. An operator who places a part on the sensor carelessly, or who accidentally exceeds the measurement range, can permanently damage a standard sensor.<\/p>\n

The Mini SEJ-Z’s mechanical stop resolves this issue by mechanically limiting the deflection of the sensing element as soon as the overload exceeds the protection threshold\u2014without any operator intervention, without electronics, and with no response time. This is a passive protection system that works even in the event of a sudden, instantaneous overload.<\/p>\n

This feature significantly extends the sensor’s service life in a production environment and reduces maintenance costs associated with replacing damaged load cells.<\/p>\n
