Pressure Sensor
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 […]
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.

How is LVDT technology used for sensing?
Linear variable-differential transformer (LVDT) technology’s capability to accurately measure linear movement is used to provide a position to electrical output for pressure, acceleration and force measurements. For example, in a pressure sensor, the sensing element is a diaphragm that moves a rod or cylindrical core inside the coils of a differential transformer to change the […]

What is the difference between piezoelectric and piezoresistive pressure sensing?
Piezoelectric is the property of a material to generate a voltage when mechanical force is applied to it. In contrast, the piezoresistive effect is the property of a material’s resistivity to change when subjected to a mechanical force. In either case, the mechanical force or stress can be compression, tension or a bending force. Ceramic […]
