+## Technologies {#technologies}
+
+There are two main technique for force sensors:
+
+-   piezoelectric technology
+-   strain gauge technology
+
+The choice between the two is usually based on whether the measurement is static (strain gauge) or dynamics (piezoelectric).
+
+Main differences between the two are shown in Figure [1](#orgc54ca38).
