Position Sensor Expands Hazardous Capability

March 20, 2012 By Randy Frank

With its recently acquired IECEx hazardous area approval rating, Balluff’s Micropulse TA12 explosion-proof linear position transducer is ready to tackle more hazardous applications. In addition to existing ATEX and North American approvals, the transducer can address even more situations where hazardous gases and/or dusts are present. Designed for continuous feedback on hydraulically and pneumatically actuated […]

Measuring Hydraulic Cylinder/ Actuator Travel and Tank Level

February 14, 2011 By Randy Frank

While many sensors, especially those based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, get increasingly smaller, some measurements dictate the need for a large or sufficiently long sensor. This is the case when measuring the position of moving machine parts in applications such as paper and pulp mills, injection molding machinery, turbine blades and process level management. […]

Balluff’s Linear Position Transducer Fits Into Small Spaces and Small Budgets

August 19, 2010 By Randy Frank

Designed to fit into small spaces, Balluff’s Micropulse PF-series linear transducer has a profile of less than 1-inch high.  The low profile design targets plastic injection and blow molding; woodworking and metalforming; material handling and more. Using magnetostrictive sensing technology, the unit has a measurable range of 51 to 4572 mm (2 to 180 in) […]

Slim Line Magnetostrictive Sensors from ASM

June 16, 2010 By sensortipsadmin

ASM launches the new PCFP25 series of slim line Magnetostrictive sensors to compliment the existing “POSICHRON®” range. The PCFP25 is a slim, non-contact linear position sensor using Magnetostrictive sensing technology which has been specifically designed for harsh applications with limited space. With a profile of only 8mm x 28mm it can fit into areas that […]
