Flexible Sensor Systems for added environmental protection industry - Environmental - Environmental Protection Agency

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 effects. 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.
