You’ve wanted a more sensitive pressure sensor. Now, one has arrived. Pressurex Zero® is a new sensor film that characterizes tactile contact surface pressure down to an extremely low 7.2 PSI (0.5 kg/cm2). The flexible film can be placed between contacting or mating surfaces to instantly and accurately measure and map pressure magnitude and distribution. Variations […]

Ceramics Power Ultrasonic Toothbrush
Dr. Pierre Mourad, a research associate professor in the University of Washington Department of Neurological Surgery, was discouraged by the cleaning ability of his ordinary power toothbrush. He wondered if ultrasound, something he manipulates every day in his laboratory, could transform ordinary bubbles into pulsating bubbles that could help remove plaque bacteria and produce a […]
Ultrasonic Sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs
TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces F12 Series Ultrasonic Sensors. These sensors offer simple push-button programmability, and feature user-selectable beam widths to provide reliable detection over a wide or narrow area. They provide an 800mm sensing range with a very small 50mm deadband, and feature a rotatable M12 quick-disconnect for easy connectivity. Indicator LEDs provide high-visibility […]
Compact Ultrasonic Sensor
Minneapolis, Minn.—TURCK introduces a new ultrasonic sensor in a compact Q12 style housing that achieves a 40 cm sensing range with an incredibly small 2.5 cm blind zone. The small profile of the sensor allows it to be mounted in narrow spaces, like those found in packaging applications. The compact sensor is available with retro-reflective […]
Schneider Electric XUV Fork Ultrasonic Sensor
Palatine, Ill. — Schneider Electric announces its new XUV Fork Ultrasonic Sensor. Built for efficiency and equipment cost reduction, the ultrasonic sensor uses thru-beam technology to detect labels of any material, size, color or translucency. The thru-beam technology allows Schneider Electric’s ultrasonic sensor to send sound through an object and determine the thickness by how […]
