Miniature LVDT sensors provide accurate position/path measurements in tight spaces
The new Inelta ILAT Series Miniature LVDT Sensors provide precision measurements of position and path in the range of single-digit millimeters. The sensors of this series are available in Models ILAT 2, ILAT4 and ILAT10 for the exact measurements of ±1 mm, ±2 mm or ±5 mm traveling distances. Owing to their tiny dimensions with […]
Printed Polymer Strain Gage Technology
Based on its patented sensor paste technology printed onto a printed circuit board (PCB), Hoffmann + Krippner’s P-DMS polymer strain gage can address a variety of applications. Potential applications include inventory control for grocery store shelves and vending machines, inside shoes to measure pressure distribution as someone stands or walks, hazardous area applications where a […]
Miniature LVDTs measure 1, 2.5 and-5 mm displacements
Hoffmann + Krippner, Inc. now provides extremely slim, inductive displacement Inelta IZAL series sensors. Utilizing differential sensing technology, these innovative sensors ensure precise path length measurements in applications with highly confined spaces. Although the 4mm diameter housing of these Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) sensors are barely larger than a matchstick, their interior provides a […]
Measure Hydraulic Valve Position without Pressure-Induced Variations
Based on the high pressure ranges at which they operate, measuring the position of the hydraulic valve can be challenging. A properly designed linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) sensor can solve this problem. That is exactly what German manufacturer INELTA did. Mounted inside the existing hydraulic valve assemblies, the LVDT’s electromagnetic coupling measures the core […]
Using Membrane Potentiometers for Sensing in Industrial Applications
Are you up to speed on membrane potentiometers? If not, a new whitepaper from the Hoffmann + Krippner Group provides a quick read of a variety of techniques to make these type of sensing devices for linear and rotary position sensing applications. Membrane potentiometers are differentiated by the use of special materials including polyethylene terephthalate […]
Applying SENSOFOIL Technology
Jens Kautzor, sales director for Hoffmann + Krippner discusses two applications for the company’s SENSOFOIL membrane technology with Randy Frank at Sensors Expo 2011. SENSOFOIL membranes enable the design of ultra-flat and very accurate linear and rotary position sensors based on potentiometer technology. For more information about Hoffmann + Krippner’s SENSOFOIL membranes, click here. To […]
