Two-Directional Bi-Flex Sensors™
Two-Directional Bi-Flex Sensors™ - FLX-01
Images new bi-directional Bi-Flex Bend Sensor™ is a unique component
that changes resistance when bent. An un-flexed sensor has a nominal
resistance of 10,000 ohms (10 K). As the flex sensor is bent in either
direction the resistance gradually decreases.
Sensor is also pressure sensitive, and may be used as a force or pressure sensor
The flex sensor operating temperature is -45F to 125F.
The sensor measures 3/8 inch wide, 4 1/2 inches long and only .038 inches thick!

Two-Directional Bi-Flex Sensors™ - FLX-02
Images new experimental bi-directional Bi-Flex Sensor (Patent Pending)
is a unique component that changes resistance when bent or flexed in
either direction. An un-flexed sensor has a nominal resistance of 20-50K.As
the flex sensor is bent in one direction the resistance gradually increases.
When the sensor is bent in the other direction its resistance will gradually
decrease. Range of nominal resistance's of the FLX-02 sensor may vary
between 20-50K.
The flexible bend sensor operating temperature is -45F to 125F.
The sensor measures 1/4 inch wide, 4 1/2 inches long and only .019
inches thick!
Connection - 2 position socket mates to 2-position header .100"

One-Directional Flex Sensors - FLX-03
One directional Flex Sensor is a unique component that changes resistance
when bent or flexed (Patent 5086785). An un flexed sensor has a nominal
resistance of approximately 10,000 ohms (10 K). As the flex sensor is
bent in one direction the resistance gradually increases. Range of resistance's
of the FLX-03 sensor may vary between 10K and 40K depending upon the
degree of the flex.
The flex sensor operating temperature is -45F to 125F.
Connection - Pin connector .100" spacing
The sensor measures 1/4 inch wide, 4 1/2 inches long and only .019 inches thick!
