What is the difference between a resistive sensor and a capacitive sensor? You've heard a lot about the resistive method and the capacitive method in touch sensor technology on displays. The two methods are used in touch technology, but they are sensors with different operating principles.
1. Resistive Type sensor The resistance method or the resistive method is the touch recognition method of the initial smartphone. This method is also called pressure sensitive because it is operated by a pressing force. When the conductive layers in the upper and lower parts are brought into contact by pressure, the resistance changes and the touch is recognized by sensing this change. Although it requires higher pressure compared to the capacitive type, it is widely used for industrial purposes because it can be touched with a gloved hand.
2. Capacitive Type Sensor The capacitive sensor uses an electric field to recognize objects. When a conductor such as a finger is near the sensor, capacitance changes and detects this change and recognizes the touch. The capacitive sensor responds to light touches with high sensitivity, and is mainly used in the latest smartphones.
We have outlined the main features and differences in the table below for your reference.
So, how do kitronyx` sensors work?
The kitronyx sensor is a force sensing resistor (FSR) sensor,
which uses the principle that resistance values change by physical force or pressure.
In particular, the FSR sensor can be manufactured in the form of a thin film,
so it can also be applied to narrow spaces or industrial equipment that needs to minimize interference.

Gain Tuning is a function used to correct the variation between nodes of the sensor.
Applying force uniformly across the entire area is necessary to correct the deviations of all nodes.
Therefore, we recommend performing Gain Tuning across the entire area.
For calibration, you need equipment that can press the sensor evenly.
If you do not have such equipment, you can use Kitronyx's calibration service for a nominal fee.
Alternatively, you can create your own calibration equipment to perform the calibration yourself.
