Linear Position Sensor PG Series Designed for Steam Turbine Valve Control Systems
The Alliance Sensors Group PG Series LVDT linear position sensors are designed and engineered specifically for valve position sensing applications for steam turbine control systems in electric power generation plants. Previously, the LVDTs used in the power generation industry were either designed by OEMs over 40 years ago, or are catalog LVDTs slightly modified for […]
Hall Effect Sensors
By Chris Francis Magnetic sensors are typically Hall effect sensors (named after Edwin Hall who discovered the effect in 1879), whereby a small voltage difference can be measured across a conductor with current flowing through it when a perpendicular magnetic field is applied. They are available as small, integrated solutions with signal or multiple outputs, […]
AutomationDirect Offers Additional Magnetic Proximity Sensors
AutomationDirect’s M-series cylindrical magnetic DC proximity sensors are now available in 8mm, 12mm, and 18mm sizes. With 10 models available, the magnetic sensors feature stainless steel shielded housings, are offered as NPN or PNP models with normally-open or normally-closed outputs, and are available with standard sensing distances of 0 to 70mm.
