(The weight would range, I guess, from 0 up to ~ 200 > pounds). Try: CMI-DEARBORN, INC. 5353 Wilcox Montague, Michigan 49437 (616) 894-9051 They have several pressure transducers. They manufacture Weigh-in-Motion equipment for weighing vehicles on the highway. They have two pressure transducers that may fill your needs; capacitive and DYNAX(r) I think. I've seen the DYNAX sensor, it can act as a pressure switch. They say that it can also be set into a more linear transducer range. It is supposed to be cheap, but I've never actually purchased it.
