Flex Sensor 2.2 inch Bend Sensor for Hand Recognition

Flex Sensors are commonly used in Robotic Gloves and other Robotic Control application. It can be used to analyze how much a material is being bent. This flex sensor is 2.2” long and has two output leads which acts like a variable resistor. That is the resistance between two pins change based on how much the sensor is bent.  It is commonly used along with another resistor to build a voltage divider circuit and then obtain a variable voltage based on the change in resistance of the sensor.

Features and Specifications:

• Operating  voltage: 0-5V
• Power rating : 0.5Watt (continuous), 1 Watt (peak)
• Operating temperature: -45ºC to +80ºC
• Flat Resistance: 25K Ω
• Resistance Tolerance: ±30%
