Soushine force sensing resistors were indispensable tools that allowed us to quantify how much force was applied. You want to treat these tools well so they can last a long time and do good work. To extend the life of your force sensing resistor, consider these tips:
Installation Methods Done Right
Make sure you follow the instructions when you put in a force sensing resistor. That is, put the force sensing resistor in the right place and ensure that it’s installed tightly. This will prevent damage. If you don’t know how to download the software on your device, get a grown up to help you.
Regular Care and Maintenance Suggestions
Keep your force sensing resistor cleaned regularly, and it will stay in a good working order. With a dry soft cloth clean the dust or dirt on the force sensing resistors. No strong chemicals or cleaning products are to be used as these may damage the sensor. Routine cleaning will ensure that your sensor keeps performing great for years to come.
Avoiding Excessive Force
Force sensing resistor usage Force sensitive resistor on easy and don't press on it to hard. Applying too much force can damage the sensor and cause it to wear out more quickly. Be tender and use only the force that you need. This will make the sensor last longer.
Application of protective coatings and covers
Consider some kind of a cover or special coating to protect your force sensing resistor. This can also be useful in keeping dust, moisture and the like away from the sensor. Be sure to get a cover that works properly with your sensor and follow the directions on how to use it. This added protection can extend the life of your sensor.
Monitoring Performance
Just like any other sensor, if you want to be sure that your force sensing resistor is functioning properly you should check to see how it's working every so often. Look out for differences, such as how it reads or responds, which can indicate that something is amiss. If you notice any discrepancies, calibrate the sensor according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Periodic checks can help maintain the accuracy and reliability of your sensor.
