New pressure rated ultrasonic sensors from Balluff
Pressure rated Ultrasonic Sensors from Balluff are ideal for fill level measurement applications under normal pressure or in tanks and containers with an overpressure of up to 6 bar of pressure. Their special software filters also allow the sensors to be installed into containers filled from above or that have a stirring system. A fill […]
Study confirmed the precise compensation for different natural gas types
A comprehensive study recently published by Germany’s Gas und Wärme-Institute (GWI, Gas and Heating Institute) confirmed the practical functionality of Sensirion’s technology. The microthermal gas meter modules from leading Swiss sensor manufacturer are equipped with integrated gas recognition. The compensation software guarantees precise flow measurement despite the differing qualities of natural gas. Furthermore, independently of […]
Banner Engineering Q3X laser contrast sensor with background suppression now available in more sensing ranges
Banner Engineering has expanded the maximum sensing range available for the Q3X laser contrast sensor with fixed background suppression. The Q3X now features four standard sensing ranges: 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm with fixed background suppression technology, and a 300 mm model which uses standard intensity detection. The key innovation of the Q3X […]
IP69K stainless steel inductive proximity sensors and IP69K cordsets
Carlo Gavazzi is pleased to announce two new product lines designed specifically for harsh environments. The new ICS Inductive Proximity Sensors comply with or are certified to IP69K, ECOLAB, and FDA standards, and easily accommodate both hot and cold temperature extremes. New IP69K CONB Series Cordsets are ECOLAB certified, and have one of the highest […]
Hermetically sealed dimensional gaging probes perform in harsh environments
Electronic gaging probes are commonly used in the dimensional gaging of manufactured parts, serving as an important component of a quality assurance system. Typically, gaging probes are cylinders with diameters of 8 mm or 9.5 mm (5/16 in. or 3/8 in.) and lengths ranging from ~ 0. 65 mm to 100 mm (2.5 in.-4 in.). […]
New Capacitive Displacement Sensor Packs High Precision into Tiny Spaces
The new CPL350 is a small, precision capacitive displacement sensor from Lion Precision. The single-channel sensor brings top-shelf performance into tiny spaces at more affordable prices. Ideal for embedded and OEM applications. Designing machines that require embedded, high-precision position sensing can be a frustration for engineers and designers. Non-contact sensing with resolutions in the nanometer […]
