ZD10-100 Flex sensor

Product Description:

Key Features:

1. Flex Detection:

   • The ZD10-100 Flex Sensor is primarily used to detect flexure or bending along its length. As the sensor is bent, its resistance changes in a way that can be measured by a microcontroller or other measurement system.

2. Resistance Range:

   • The ZD10-100 typically has a resistance of 10kΩ when it is in a neutral (flat) position. As it bends, the resistance increases or decreases depending on the direction and degree of the bend.

3. High Sensitivity:

   • This sensor is highly sensitive to even slight bending movements. It is commonly used to measure small flexes, such as in wearables that detect body movement or in robotic joints.

4. Flexible Material:

   • The sensor is made of a flexible material, allowing it to bend along its length without breaking or degrading. This is ideal for use in applications requiring the sensor to conform to curves or bends.

5. Size:

   • The ZD10-100 Flex Sensor typically comes in a small and flexible form factor. While exact dimensions may vary, these types of sensors are usually about 100mm in length and 10mm in width.

6. Output Type:

   • The flex sensor has an analog output, meaning that the output is a variable voltage corresponding to the resistance changes caused by bending. This output can be read using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of a microcontroller like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other systems.

7. Wiring and Connection:

   • It typically has two connection points (wires or pads) for easy connection to circuits. These connections are used to measure the change in resistance as the sensor bends.
