Infineon expands its leading capacitive sensing technology CAPSENSE with a new, proprietary inductive sensing technology, as well as a non-invasive and non-contact liquid sensing solution. With PSOC 4, developers now have endless possibilities to develop new HMI and sensing solutions. […]
How does an electronic tongue sense: part 1
When sensors that detect the five senses, hearing, sight, feeling, smell, and taste, are discussed, the one that usually gets mentioned the least is taste. Electronic ears, eyes, touch, and noses have far more available products than electronic tongues – but that could change. Like many sensors, the underlying technology for an electronic tongue (or […]
Linear position sensors operate in hazardous environments
NewTek HAZLOC-approved linear position sensors are certified for safe operation in hazardous locations with explosive gases, vapors, dust, and other dangerous substances. Approved by Intertek Testing Laboratories and carrying the ETL mark, the NT-HL-750 LVDTs are intrinsically safe for use in Class I, Zone 0, and Zone 2 areas. These sensors meet the stringent standards […]
Inductive position sensor achieves 5 mm thickness
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new high-precision position sensor built on inductive technology for industrial and AMS applications. Compared to solutions based on magnetic technology, the Vishay MCB RAIK060 absolute inductive kit encoder offers a smaller thickness of 5 mm, lighter weight of 15.5 g, higher rotational speeds to 10 000 rpm, and a lower latency […]
Thermistor series features 14-second cooling tme constant for industrial monitoring
TDK Corporation introduces two new NTC thermistors designed for precise temperature measurement in automotive and industrial environments. The L862 and L871 series operate across a temperature range of -40°C to +155°C, with power dissipation rated at 60 mW at room temperature. The L862 features a 2.6 x 6.5 mm sensor element with silver-plated nickel wire […]
What is negative temperature coefficient?
A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) refers to any physical value that decreases as the temperature increases or vice versa. In electronics, NTC usually refers to a material’s decreasing resistance as the temperature rises. This article examines how NTC device performance is quantified and compares with other technologies like resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and positive temperature […]
