This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor’s resistance. Pressing lightly, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but...

SKU: SF-SEN-11207 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor’s resistance. Pressing hard, the resistance changes from infinite to ~50k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the...

SKU: SF-SEN-27314 | Brand: SparkFun

SpectraFlex is a flexible bend sensor for measuring angular deflection in research, industrial and personal electronics projects. As the sensor bends, its resistance changes, making it suitable for reading movement or...

SKU: DF-SEN0690 | Brand: DFRobot

Add a slim linear touch input to curved or space-constrained surfaces with this flexible ribbon-style potentiometer. At just 0.45mm thick, it can conform to wearables, curved dashboards, soft robotics and other builds...

SKU: DF-SEN0684 | Brand: DFRobot

This graphene-based circular flex force sensor is built for pressure and touch sensing in tougher environments than standard FSR-style sensors. It detects force across a 20g to 6kg range, with resistance changing line...

SKU: SF-SEN-27315 | Brand: SparkFun

The SpectraFlex Flex Sensor is a lightweight bend sensor for measuring flex and movement in research, industrial, wearable and maker projects. This 55mm version includes male pins, making it straightforward to connect...

SKU: AF-6379 | Brand: Adafruit

Measuring stretch and movement can be tricky, and this conductive rubber cord gives you a simple, hands-on way to do it. The cord is made from carbon-black impregnated rubber, with resistance that increases as it is p...

SKU: PL-1696 | Brand: Pololu

This force-sensing resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component that exhibits a decrease in resistance when there is an increase in the force applied to the 0.58″-diameter (1.5 cm) active area...

SKU: DF-SEN0047 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a force sensitive resistor with a round, 0.5" diameter, sensing area. This FSR will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower t...
