Spectra 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 2.2â€?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.

FLEX Sensor Features and Specifications:
