Multiple Bend Flex Sensor 4.5 Inch

The Multiple Bend Flex Sensor 4.5 Inch is a versatile, highly sensitive bend detection component designed for wearable electronics, robotics, gaming controllers, and motion tracking applications. This sensor works by changing its resistance when bent, making it ideal for projects that require precise movement detection. Whether you are building a robotic glove, gesture-controlled device, or human motion capture system, this sensor offers reliable and repeatable performance. Its slim, lightweight design makes it easy to integrate into both prototype and commercial products.

As the sensor is flexed, its resistance increases, providing a clear signal for microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32 to process. The 0.1″ spaced connector ensures easy compatibility with breadboards and jumper wires, allowing quick prototyping. Engineered for durability, it can withstand multiple bending cycles while maintaining accuracy, making it perfect for long-term projects.
