Product Description
This is a 2.2″ Flex Sensor – Bend Sensor that changes its resistance when it is bent or flexed by a physical device. It has a 0.1″ spaced connector that is compatible with breadboards. It can be used for applications such as Robotics, Gaming (Virtual Motion), Medical Devices, Computer Peripherals, Musical Instruments, and Physical Therapy.
A flex sensor detects bending and has many uses in robotics, medical and haptic technology. The sensor’s resistance varies with the bend, which can be measured by any microcontroller.
Applications:
- Angle Displacement Measurement.
- Bends and Flexes physically with the motion device.
- Robotics Applications.
- Gaming (Virtual Motion).
- Medical Devices.
- Computer Peripherals.
- Musical Instruments.
- Physical Therapy.
Features
- Angle Displacement Measurement.
- Bends and Flexes physically with the motion device.
- Simple Construction.

Package Includes
- 1 x Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition
Note: To avoid damaging the sensor, do not bend its base, which is sensitive. You can flex the sensing area within the usable range safely, but try to limit the bending outside of this range. For optimal performance, attach the base and the bottom part firmly and let only the flex sensor bend.
