Electromechanical Sensors

Starting with the data that needs to be collected by your device, the engineers in our Lightspeed Lab can design and develop a custom electromechanical sensor for your application. Our team can also support the integration of the sensor in your device and the development of testing protocols. We provide the sensors as a standalone product or as part of an integrated subassembly or finished device. Our enhanced capabilities, innovative thinking, and modern sensor assemblies will help you develop groundbreaking medical technology and improve patient outcomes.

Electromechanical sensors are becoming increasingly common in a variety of precision medical applications often related to minimally invasive surgical procedures, including:

• Strain gauges
• Temperature sensors
• Near-field communication (NFC) wireless connectors

Electromechanical sensors offer a wide range of benefits that make them increasingly popular for precision medical procedures performed during minimally invasive surgery, including:

• Small footprint
• Exceptionally thin
• Low power consumption
• Great field strength/force
• Ability to fabricate 2-layer coils
• Low electromagnetic emissions
• Low susceptibility to RF fields

Electromechanical sensors offer a wide range of capabilities and features that are helping pave the way for major advancements in medical devices and diagnostic technologies.

• Highly customizable to meet specific design requirements
• May be fabricated “in-package” in higher-level components
• Integrated lead wires within the sensor package to provide a small form factor

In NFC Wireless Connectors:

• Inductive coupling coils for contactless secure data transmission
• Transmit and receive coils can be designed to commercially available EEPROM chip dimensions
• High-density inductive coils allow for miniaturized connectors
