Settling for an off the shelf sensor may not be the way to go for application that has special requirements. As a result, Sherborne Sensors recent expansion of custom manufacturing capabilities for its accelerometer, inclinometer and load cell product lines, as well as its ability to design and develop a custom sensor could be advantageous. […]
Wireless Position Sensor
Honeywell Sensing and Control now offers the XYR6000 Wireless Position Sensor that works with its OneWireless™ systems. Operating at 2.4 GHz Discrete Sequential Spread Spectrum (DSSS), the unit has a data rate of 250 Kbps and nominal signal range of 305m (1000ft.) between Field Sensor and Infrastructure unit. The analog output has an accuracy of […]
Energy Harvesting for Enthusiasts
Anyone who likes the idea of something for nothing has to be interested in energy harvesting, getting the energy to avoid reliance on traditional energy sources such as batteries, for free – once the initial hardware investment has been made. Today, in addition to solar, wind and falling or flowing water, vibration, RF, heat and […]
Proximity Sensor for Welding Applications
Rather than frequently replacing a sensor in an abusive welding environment, a new inductive proximity sensor can provide increased impact protection. Balluff’s BunkerProx M18 sensor has a thick housing for withstanding mechanical impact in welding applications. A frontal-impact deflection ring protects the face from repeated welding impacts. In addition, the sensor’s ceramic face resists weld spatter […]
High Accuracy Signal Conditioning IC for Resistive Bridge Sensors
Whenever a new sensor signal conditioning circuit is announced, it’s smart to determine if it can simplify your existing sensor’s design, or get more performance for the next generation and/or save money. We’ll it’s time to check out a new circuit – especially if you have only been using/considering an IC with 12- to 14- […]
MEMS Piezoresistive Low Pressure Sensing Die
Morgan Hill, CA – All Sensors Corporation announces the introduction of a low pressure sensor die for high volume applications requiring pressure measurement to as low as a quarter inch of water full scale. This introduction of a new pressure sensor die marks the fifth major silicon pressure sensor die topology to be introduced over […]
