Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has announced the launch of the NRH27C, a non-contact rotary position sensor which is suitable for use on specialty on- and off-highway vehicles using CANbus communications. Developed by Curtiss-Wright’s legacy brand of Penny & Giles, the NRH27C extends the company’s recently-introduced NRH271 and NRH272 family and shares many similar features and benefits. These […]
New Phantom powered preamplifier
A new universal preamplifier from PCB Piezotronics reduces project costs by allowing users to interchange multiple test microphone cartridges to meet unique testing requirements. Model 426A14 adapts to any IEC 61094-4 compliant, prepolarized microphone for use in loudspeaker design, microphone and amplifier modeling, and live sound or high definition recording applications. The preamplifier may be purchased […]
Confocal controllers feature distance, thickness measurement
The confocalDT 2421 and 2422 controllers open up new possibilities in precision distance and thickness measurement on different surfaces. The two-channel variant is an innovation whereby two confocal sensors are connected to a controller. For measurements, the sensor system uses the respective light wavelength which is exactly focused on the target. The light reflected from […]
Redundant, non-contact angle and distance measurement for mobile machines
In the field of mobile commercial vehicles, safety requirements are increasing, especially within the EU. This presents not only suppliers, but also manufacturers of vehicles, with new challenges. In order to make it as easy as possible for manufacturers to adapt to new requirements, the Buchenbach based firm SIKO GmbH has developed the MSK320R bearing-free […]
New angle sensors for mission critical applications
Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the RFC4800 Series of touchless rotary angle sensors that provide absolute, rotary position. Partial and fully redundant versions are ISO-pulses and ISO 11452 tested for safety and mission critical applications. The RFC4800 Series utilizes a magnetic pickup to provide a touchless measurement range of 0 to 360° and makes measurements through air […]
LVIT technology replacing linear potentiometers with a contactless solution
H. G. Schaevitz / Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its sensor product offering by adding a line of LR-19 Series Inductive Linear Position Sensors using LVIT Technology; contactless devices designed for factory automation and a variety of industrial or commercial applications such as motor sport vehicles, automotive testing, solar cell positioners, wind turbine prop pitch […]
Robust miniature eddy current sensor
The eddyNCDT 3001 is a new, efficient eddy current sensor whose compact dimensions have to date only been reserved for inductive sensors and proximity sensors. This compact sensor is housed in a M12 body and comes with integrated electronics including temperature compensation, offering an outstanding price/performance ratio, as well as easy operation. The temperature-compensated design […]
Precision thickness measurement using a compact sensor system
The thicknessSENSOR is particularly well suited to precision measurement of narrow strips. This compact sensor system from Micro-Epsilon extends the C-frame product range for thickness measurement. The sensor provides extremely high precision results combined with ease of use and a compact design. The measurement process is performed on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The system consists […]
Magneto-inductive sensors as alternative for conventional sensors
Magneto-inductive sensors combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic sensors. The sensor measures with high dynamics the distance to a magnet, which is fixed at the measurement object. The magnet movement effects a change in the magnetic flow in the sensor element which is detected by the sensor coil. This results in a linear […]
SignalFire introduces wireless thief hatch sensor for remote tank monitoring
SignalFire has introduced the Hatch Watchdog, a wireless thief hatch sensor that monitors the status of tank hatches to mitigate environmental and safety risks associated with accidental emissions. When tank hatches—known as thief hatches—remain ajar, they can release vapors into the atmosphere. Stringent regulations in controlling emissions can result in fines due to leaking tank […]
