Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition

Flex Sensor 2.2″ Bend Sensor for Hand Gesture Recognition

The Flex Sensor 2.2″ detects physical bending. It measures motion by translating it into resistance changes. Resistance increases proportionally with sensor flex. Data interfaces with microcontrollers. This sensor supports hand gesture recognition. It also applies to robotics, medical devices, and haptic technology. A 0.1″ spaced connector facilitates prototyping. The sensor has a life cycle exceeding 1 million bends. It provides data for angle displacement and motion sensing.
