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.
