Flexion sensors, (from Latin flexure, ‘to bend’) also called bend sensors, measure the amount of deflection caused by bending the sensor. There are various ways of sensing deflection, from strain-gauges1) to hall-effect sensors2).
Features of Flex Sensor 2.2:
- Hysteresis/noise neglectible3).
- Resistance is function of radius of curvature, not angle at one point.
- High temperature and humidity-tolerance.
- Relatively low cost.
- Customizable (coatings, laminating materials).
Applications of Flex Sensor 2.2:
- Automotive applications.
- Industrial applications, e.g. safety switches, shipping, machine control.
- Medical applications (e.g. ?SmartBed?).
- Gaming devices.
- Measuring devices.
- Assistive technology.
- Robotics (e.g. floor mapping, collision detection).
- DIY projects.
- Arduino projects.
- Raspberry-Pi projects.
- Electrical/Electronic projects.
