Spectra Symbol Flex Sensors
Spectra Symbol Flex Sensors have a simple construction with a low profile and can bend and flex physically with a motion device. Spectra Symbol Flex Sensors consist of a -35°C to 80°C temperature range, polymide substrate, and ±2% repeatability. These sensors feature >2 million cycles with a bend angle of 180° over an 8mm (0.315”) radius.
