MINIMUM TECH FEATURES:

• Operating Voltage: 0–5V DC
• Flat Resistance: 10KΩ (typical)
• Bend Resistance Range: 60KΩ – 110KΩ (at 180° bend)
• Power Rating: 0.5 W continuous, 1 W peak
• Resistance Tolerance: ±30%
• Life Cycle: > 1 million flexes
• Temperature Range: –35°C to +80°C
• Analog Output (resistance varies with flex angle)

DESCRIPTION:

• The FLEX-4.5-INCH is a variable-resistance bend sensor from Spectra Symbol, designed to detect physical flex, angle displacement, and motion.
• It works by changing its resistance as it bends — the more the sensor is flexed, the higher its resistance.
• Designed for motion sensing, gesture detection, and biomedical measurement, it’s widely used in robotics, gaming, and wearable technologies.
• Its lightweight, thin, and durable construction allows easy integration into gloves, exoskeletons, prosthetics, and musical control interfaces.
• The FLEX-4.5-INCH model offers a larger sensing area compared to the 2.2-inch version, providing greater range and smoother output in applications involving full joint motion.
