Component Description
Precision Bend‑Responsive Flex Sensor – Transform Movement Into Data
Our high‑resolution flex sensor is a flexible resistive element that varies its electrical resistance proportionally to mechanical curvature, making it ideal for motion detection, bend measurement, and human‑machine interfaces. Crafted from polyimide film and conductive graphene or carbon‑filled polymer, the sensor offers repeatable, low‑hysteresis performance over a wide temperature range. It can be seamlessly integrated into textiles, soft robotics, or custom PCB layouts thanks to its ultra‑thin (≤1 mm) form factor and multi‑layer encapsulation.
With its flat geometry, the sensor provides accurate electrical readouts even under repeated flex cycles, while maintaining a low profile for ergonomic designs. Its high signal stability and low temperature drift enable reliable data logging in wearable prototypes, robotic arms, or biomechanical studies.
- Key Spec 1: Resistance Change 10 kΩ @0° → 70 kΩ at 180° bend (10 kΩ/min‑rad)
- Key Spec 2: Temperature Range –40 °C to 85 °C (no >5 % drift)
- Key Spec 3: Flexural Fatigue Endurance >10 000 cycles at ±30% strain
- Common Use Case: Motion capture for gaming, gait analysis, and dexterous robotic actuation
