The units have programmable resolution of 1/1,000 or 1/2,000 and are available for vacuum, as well as positive and compound pressure applications in 1 to 100 kPa range with the […]
Variable Capacitance Pressure Transducers Address Extreme Environment Industrial Apps
Available in pressure ranges from 1 to 10,000 psig, Setra Systems Model 209 variable capacitance pressure transducers offer users several choices. In addition to gauge, sealed gauge, or vacuum pressure options, output choices include: 4-20 mA, 0.5 to 5.5 Vdc, 1 to 6 Vdc or 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc output. The sensors have ±0.25% full-scale […]
MEMS Pressure Sensor Used in Asthma Training Device
While many people suffer from asthma attacks and use inhalers as the solution, poor inhaler technique prevents patients from receiving their full therapeutic benefit. To correct this situation, Cambridge Consultants used its sensing and wireless technology capabilities to create an asthma inhaler training device. Called the T-Haler, the healthcare tool has doubled proper usage rates. […]
Sensor Measures Pressures up to 6,000 BAR (87,000 psi)
Kistler’s Type 6215 pressure sensor uses a quartz crystal sensing element packaged with a front-sealed diaphragm in a rugged, stainless steel housing. Design for internal ballistics, closed bomb testing, weapons discharge and cartridge chamber testing, and other extreme high-pressure measurement requirements, the Type 6125 sensor has measurement range from 0 to 6,000 bar (0 to […]
Multi-Configurable Pressure Sensing System is Industry First
For wet-to-wet differential pressure measurements, Setra Systems newest transducer with remote sensors provides users several user-selectable variations. The Multi-Sense® 231RS sensors have four unidirectional and bi-directional switch-selectable pressure ranges: 5, 10, 25 and 50 (D, C,B or A) for range code RS1 versions with a max line pressure of 50 psi to 25, 50, 125 […]
Heavy Duty Pressure Transducers Meet IP69K Requirements
With stainless steel packaging, various media compatibility and up to IP69K protection and CE compliance, Honeywell’s new PX2 Series Heavy Duty Transducers can address several challenging applications. The 7 bar to 34 bar [100 psi to 500 psi] pressure ranges units are appropriate for refrigerants, brake and hydraulic fluids, engine oil, tap water, and compressed […]
Robot Provides Virtual Presence at 2012 CES (Pt 1)
Ned Semonite, vice president of products at VGo Communications explains the company’s robotic telepresence product at the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. Freescale’s pressure sensors and accelerometers are used in the design of the robot as well as proximity sensors to detect stairs or potential collisions and a camera to view […]
Hydrogen Pressure Sensor for Fuel-Cell Vehicles
Fuel-cell vehicles are among the automotive industry’s research efforts to reduce the dependence on petroleum. Monitoring the high pressure in the hydrogen storage tank(s) for a minimum of 10 year life expectancy is just one of the challenges in bringing these vehicles to volume production. With it’s recently introduced AST 2000H2 Hydrogen ASIC Pressure Sensor, […]
MEMS IMU Delivers 10-Degree-of-Freedom Capability
Today, there are several sources for six degrees of freedom (DoF) sensors. However, when 6DoF is not enough, the newest solution from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) may be the answer. The ADIS16488 is a 10-DoF sensor that integrates a tri-axis gyroscope, tri-axis accelerometer, tri-axis magnetometer and a pressure sensor into a single package. Based on […]
