Plastic fibers are typically used for more general-purpose applications where they can tolerate extreme bending and be cut to length to fit in limited space setups.
Plastic fibers bend easily to fit precisely where you want them.
High-flex models withstand repeated flexing and bending.
Special jackets withstand corrosion, impact and abrasion.
Coiled versions are available for applications requiring articulated or reciprocating motion.
Fibers are available in individual or bifurcated styles for opposed or diffuse sensing.
Diameters include 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 mm.
