Stretch sensor - conductive rubber sheet - 200x200x1mm - Adafruit 5463

The tensile sensor is a sheet of rubber made of the same material used in conductors - traditionally used for electromagnetic shielding or as a conductive gasket. The sheet's electrical resistance at rest is approximately 70 Ω. The sheet can stretch from 50% to 70% of its original condition. In combination with a resistor, the sensor can work as a simple voltage divider.

The tensile force sensor is used wherever it is necessary to determine the strength of given materials. The use of a conductive rubber sheet allows these values to be obtained based on the change in the resistance of the material under the influence of stretching.
