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!

Some applications for the Flex Sensor are:

• Collision detection on mobile robots
• VR Gloves and VR suits
• Physics applications and experiments

Available in three resistance ranges:

• FLX-01-L Low resistance range, nominal resistance between 1K - 20K
• FLX-01-M Medium resistance range, nominal resistance between 20K - 50K
• FLX-01-H High resistance range, nominal resistance between 50K - 200K

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!
