MP Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I was trying to describe this device in a post some time ago. Finally found it again. Interesting strip that changes resistance as you bend it. It was originally designed to make the computer glove devices to simulate hand movements.Manufacturer site with data sheets: http://www.flexpoint.com/One source: http://www.imagesco.com/catalog/flex/FlexSensors.htmlMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alun Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Interesting, could it be used to make precision scales to measure very small quantities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 It would be dependent upon the amount of movement (bend), but not the pressure. I do not think it would make a good one. However, if you are looking for something similar that is for pressure, here is a link to a sensor named "flexiforce".http://www.tekscan.com/flexiforce/specs_flexiforce.htmlMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgrandpainmi Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I know the thread is a year old, but these sensors are also used to measure muzzle pressures in weapons. Reloaders and manufacturers are the biggest users.oldgrandpainmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
