Flex Sensor
A flex sensor is a sensor that measures the amount of deflection or bending. Usually the sensor is stuck to a surface; the resistance of sensor element is varied by bending the surface. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. The resistance of the flex sensor changes when the metal pads are on the ide of the bend.
FEATURES:
-Flex length is 2.2 inch.
-Simple construction
-Low profile
-Compact and robust
-Effective measurement
-Conductive sensor film
-Carbon as conductive component
-Defect free good adhesion substrate
PROCEDURE:
Flex sensor achieves great form-factor on a thin flexible substrate.
Initially, the sensor produces a resistance value as 26k ohm by default.
The sensor is bent along a smaller angle of 45degree, then there is a slight increase in the resistance value up to 30k ohm.
The sensor is then bent to a larger angle of 90degree, the resistance value increases further to 35k ohm.
Thus the resistance increases gradually according to the angle by which it is bent.
