Bend Labs Digital Flex Sensor - 2-Axis, 4 Inch
The Bend Labs Digital Flex Sensor is a two-axis bidirectional sensor that measures angular displacement in two orthogonal planes for 3D orientation. Built from highly durable, medical-grade silicone elastomers, it provides highly accurate, drift-free angle measurements in a soft, flexible form factor with extremely low power consumption.
Unlike traditional analogue flex sensors, this digital sensor features a built-in microcontroller with an I2C interface and on-board calibration. Its integrated analogue front end rejects common-mode signals such as stretching and temperature fluctuations, delivering high-fidelity angular displacement data in degrees.
