Flexpoint Bend Sensor
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Bend Sensor® product consists of a coated substrate, such as plastic, that changes in electrical conductivity as it is bent. Electronic systems connect to the sensor and measure with fine detail the amount of bending or movement that occurs. The single layer design of the Bend Sensor® eliminates many of the problems associated with conventional sensors such as dust, dirt, liquids, and heat and pressure affects. Over-laminates or over-molding may also be applied to the sensors for added environmental protection. Flexpoint Sensor Systems offers standard designs, and can also custom design and engineer a sensor that meets the dimensions and requirements of your application.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Our membrane potentiometers & flex sensors are significantly pliable, but we recommend that bending & flexing is kept to a minimum to preserve maximum fidelity & accuracy, especially in hot or cold conditions, and especially if not a Hotpot. Even with flex sensors, you want to avoid folding or kinking before applied to the project, and bending ends away from printed/striped side is recommended. (concave side should be logo-side) MagnetoPots should not be bent, twisted, or flexed at all.
Product Images Are Meant as a Series Representation Only
Our product images often do not represent the length you have selected and instead show a default sensor image for that series. Please refer to the "Active Sensor Length" selector to verify that the sensor length chosen is what you want. Also verify that the desired connector and linearity (margin of accuracy) are selected before purchase.
For full product specifications and measurements please see DataSheets below product description above.
