Robotics – Controlling joint movement or placement is easy with flex sensors. You can also use these products as bumper switches for efficient wall detection.
Bio-metrics – Manufacturers of athletic equipment use flex sensors to indicate placement or movement.
Virtual Reality Gaming Gloves – The sensors are important components used in manufacturing virtual reality gloves. The Nintendo Power Glove is a good example.
Other Applications – Flex sensors are common in different technological products, such as automotive and industrial controls, computer peripherals, joysticks, and measuring devices. These are also present in fitness products, musical instruments, and assistive technology systems of modern vehicles.
Flex Sensors – Precise Bend Detection for Advanced Applications
At Amironic, we proudly supply Spectra Symbol’s Flex Sensors, globally recognized for their outstanding quality and reliability. Flex sensors are resistive sensing devices that detect bending or flexing by changing their resistance value. This simple yet powerful technology allows seamless integration into robotics, wearables, biometrics, and countless industrial and consumer applications.
What is a Flex Sensor?
A flex sensor is a thin, lightweight component that changes its electrical resistance as it bends. Mounted on either stationary or flexible surfaces, the sensor delivers consistent, repeatable measurements across a wide range of bend ratios. Spectra Symbol’s resistive flex sensors are available in active lengths of 2.18″ and 3.75″, making them suitable for compact or larger-scale designs.
