Harsh media pressure transducers offer rear-entry ceramic packaging
DunAn Sensing has announced the MDC (MEMS DURAsenseâ Core) Series of harsh media compatible pressure transducers. The MDC series uses DunAn Sensing’s proprietary DURAsenseâ unique packaging and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor integration strategy to provide highly accurate pressure outputs in space-limited applications at a low cost including pumps, hydraulics, pneumatics, valves and hand-held devices. […]
Pressure transducers incorporate ceramic diaphragm and ASIC to digitally trim
DunAn Sensing has announced the availability of its CDC (Ceramic Diaphragm Core) Series of harsh media compatible pressure transducers. The CDC pressure transducers use DunAn Sensing’s proprietary unique design of an Al2O3 ceramic diaphragm with thick film resistors and an ASIC to digitally trim for compensation and calibration. The pressure transducer provides highly accurate pressure measurements […]
How big is the MEMS pressure sensor market?
According to Yole Développement’s “MEMS Pressure Sensor Comparison 2018 report,” the global microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor market was about $1.6 billion US in 2017. It will grow by 3.8% per year to reach a value of $2B in 2023. While automotive and consumer applications are the largest markets, medical and industrial markets continue to […]

The addition of these new technologies expands the breadth of sensing products available from Sager Electronics to include low, mid, and industrial sensors as […]
How do sensors make a smart crane safer?
Watching a crane operator elevate and transport a heavy load over a significant distance to a precise location with an articulated crane is always a fascinating and thought-provoking activity. With today’s concerns about job safety, how is safety handled in this process? Safety begins with the skill of the crane operator but today’s sensors and […]
New digital pressure sensor offers OEM customers increased design flexibility
All Sensors Corporation of Morgan Hill, California has announced a new line of digital pressure sensors: the ELVR Series. The new device series offers OEM customers increased design flexibility for pressure ranges from 2.5 to 75 mbar (1 to 30 inch H2O). The ELVR Series is a direct replacement to First Sensors’ HCLA product line. […]
Fly inside a building with the help of vibration sensors
Due to gravity, when skydivers jump out of an airplane, they immediately fall toward the earth, falling several thousand feet in less than a minute before opening their parachutes. For indoor skydiving, where you float less than 100 feet above ground level, there is no parachute and a rather sophisticated process is involved that uses […]
What is an aphrometer?
In simple terms, an aphrometer is a manometer for measuring the pressure in champagne and sparkling wine bottles. When the aging process is completed, a disgorgement process removes the sediment and then an aphrometer is used to check the pressure in the bottle. Traditional cork and crown cap aphrometers make invasive measurements, typically in the […]
