Sensing Complements GM’s Fix for Volt Battery Problem
The innovative Chevrolet Volt suffered a setback when some battery packs caught fire days or weeks after government safety tests. The company has found that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash tests caused a puncture in the side of the battery pack allowing coolant leakage into the pack. Later, the coolant’s interaction with electronics […]
Capacitive Sensor for Liquid Level Detection
Detecting liquid levels in confined spaces in machines and facilities can pose problems. For these types of applications, Baumer developed its CFDK 25 capacitive sensor. The 52.4 x 25-mm flat housing design has a height of only 6 mm and has an available mounting frame. In addition to attachment with two screws, the frame allows […]
