Flex Sensor 4.5Inches

Flex Sensor 4.5 Inches

The 4.5-inch Flex Sensor is a longer variable resistor that changes its resistance when bent. It is ideal for applications requiring a larger sensing area, such as full-finger tracking, joint movement detection, and wearable systems.

Key Features

• Extended Length (4.5 Inches): Covers larger bending areas
• Bend Detection: Resistance varies with the degree of flex
• High Sensitivity: Detects subtle to large movements
• Analog Output: Provides continuous variable readings
• Flexible & Lightweight: Suitable for wearable and motion-based systems
• Durable Design: Built for repeated bending cycles

Applications

• Gesture Control Systems: Finger and hand motion tracking
• Wearable Devices: Smart gloves and motion capture
• Robotics: Joint angle sensing
• Medical & Rehabilitation: Movement monitoring
• DIY Electronics: Interactive and motion detection projects

Technical Specifications

• Length: 4.5 inches
• Type: Resistive flex sensor
• Resistance (Flat): ~10KΩ (typical)
• Resistance (Bent): Up to ~20KΩ–40KΩ (varies)
• Operating Voltage: Used in voltage divider circuits
• Output Type: Analog
• Bending Life: High durability for repeated use
