Pressure Mapping Applications

Wherever two surfaces press together, uneven contact pressure causes problems. See pressure mapping applications by industry — from battery and automotive to semiconductor and precision manufacturing.

Pressure mapping is used where engineers need to see how load is distributed between contacting surfaces. Common industrial applications include battery compression, tire and seal contact, thermal interfaces, gaskets, roller nips and assembly fixtures. The suitable sensor and acquisition path depend on interface geometry, loading, environment, timing and the decision the measurement must support.


Application-led coverage

One measurement approach, many industries

Pressure mapping makes contact pressure visible and measurable — the same reusable thin-film sensor, acquisition system and 2D & 3D software applied across very different parts. Pick your industry below, or tell us your application.

Start with the interface, event or engineering decision

Choose the closest current path. Application suitability and final configuration still require review of the real setup.
