Signal conditioner handles digital/analog comm for AC-LVDTs, RVDT, or LVRT half-bridge sensors
The NewTek NTC-6000 Qwik-Cal LVDT Signal Conditioner completes the measurement system for AC-operated LVDTs by providing the excitation and digital output required by many of today’s laboratory, industrial automation, and process control applications. Without internal electronics, AC-LVDTs can operate in extreme environments but require the NTC-6000 Signal Conditioner to convert position feedback into readable output […]
Hall effects sensor optimized for low-field environments, normal ambient temps
Paragraf announces a new graphene Hall Effect sensor ideally suited to battery applications, such as the electric vehicle (EV) sector. The graphene GHS01AT Hall Effect sensor is optimized for use in relatively low field environments and normal ambient temperatures. Bringing the magnetic field measurement resolution towards that of more complex magnetic sensors, yet with the […]
4-in-1 MEMS sensor measures gases, humidity, temperature and barometric pressure
Whether at home, in the office, or outdoors, we need to be confident that the air around us is clean and safe to breathe – COVID-19 has clearly highlighted the importance of air quality. Due to the particulates, gases, and even airborne viruses ubiquitously present in our modern environment, poor air quality has an increasingly […]
Tactile switch boasts 5 million cycles with 2.8N and 4N actuation force
C&K has done it again – first introducing the revolutionary KSC Tireless Endurance (KSC TE) with 10 million cycles at 1.6N, the highest in the industry. Now C&K has launched a 5 million cycle version with higher actuation forces at 2.8N and 4N – again making these miniature tactile switches the highest lifecycle switches available […]
Torque sensors feature non-contact technology
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the Sensor Technology TorqSense SGR510/520 Torque Sensors which use a four-element strain gauge bridge design with non-contact surface acoustic wave (SAW) detection. These sensors offer a 250% over-range reading capacity, allowing sudden spikes in torque to be measured and recorded accurately without clipping. The new design compensates for extraneous, inadvertent forces such as bending […]
Pressure transducer for harsh environments helps cut machine downtime
There is an increased demand among design engineers in the industrial and commercial transportation (ICT) and industrial space for reliable sensors and components that improve operational efficiency in hydraulic machinery and compressed gas applications. To serve this need, TE Connectivity (TE) has developed the M9100 pressure transducer. Based on TE’s proven Microfused strain gauge technology, […]
