MHP Series Inductive Linear Position Sensor
Alliance Sensors Group a division of H.G. Schaevitz LLC has expanded its in-cylinder position sensor product line to include the MHP-7 series linear inductive sensors. These compact inductive linear sensors were designed to be installed into the rear endcap of hydraulic cylinders for operation at pressures up to 5000psig. Their 1-inch hex aluminum or stainless […]
Extra extended range inductive proximity sensors
CARLO GAVAZZI is pleased to announce the expansion of the popular ICB Series Inductive Proximity Sensors. New “Extra-Extended” ICB12, ICB18 and ICB30 sensors provide sensing ranges up to three times the sensing distances of standard M12, M18, and M30 cylindrical inductive proximity sensors! In addition, Carlo Gavazzi has responded to feedback received from customers to […]
The Newest Product in Alliance Sensors Group’s Line of Industrial LVDTs
H.G. Schaevitz LLC Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its line of industrial LVDTs with the addition of the LA-21-A series. The LA-21-A series AC LVDTs offers robust designs in typical industrial packages, with full ranges from 3 inches (75 mm) to 15 inches (375 mm). They are supplied in a zinc-plated-steel 0.8.05 inch (20.5 mm) […]
Inductive versus capacitive position sensors
by Mark Howard, Co-founder, Zettlex UK When it comes to inductive and capacitive position sensors, each is built quite differently, meaning that each technology is suited to particular geometries and applications. When German scientist Ewald Georg von Kleist suffered an electric shock from his laboratory apparatus in 1745, he suddenly learned that it was possible […]
Contact Sensor Squeezes into Pencil Size Spaces
With the addition of the GT2-P, KEYENCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA extends its high-precision GT2 Series of contact sensors. The new sensor features high accuracy and rugged design as well as flexible communication options in a pencil-size body. With KEYENCE’S Scale Shot System, the sensor employs both the conventional scale and transformer methods to achieve high […]
Inductive Proximity Sensor Boasts Industry’s Lowest Operating Current
Using patent pending technology, Micro Oscillator, Inc. (MOI) has developed Inductive Proximity Sensor Products with the industry’s lowest operating current and voltage. The sensors incorporate the company’s Sensor IC which operates at voltages as low as 1.5V to 3.5V and operating currents from 1µA to 4 µA. Two MOI Inductive Proximity Sensor Evaluation Boards are […]
Pepperl+Fuchs’ New PMI Linear Inductive Sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces two new PMI40 models to its family of PMI linear inductive sensors. PMI40-F90-U-V15 and PMI40-F90-I-V15 sensors offer a 40 mm distance measurement ideal for vertical valve measurements. PMI linear measurement sensors are an ideal replacement for standard cylindrical analog sensors because they deliver greater linear range, linearity and accuracy. With these new models, […]
Encoder for Heavy Equipment
In heavy equipment applications, the operator needs to know the exact location of relative moving parts at all times in order to prevent accidents. At the same time, the measurement technique must be rugged to survive. Leine & Linde designed its model PHE 900 encoder absolute encoder to address both of these areas. The inductive […]
Reliably Monitor Both Speed and Acceleration
Detecting wire, thread and web break quickly in industrial applications is important to reduce scrap and downtime. For these and other applications, SICK’s SAM inductive sensor provides both speed and acceleration monitoring. The sensor’s acceleration monitoring functionality measures the change in speed, detecting a break almost immediately. Both a raw pulse output and a programmable, […]
