AXISENSE-G dynamic tilt sensor uses gyroscope compensation for dynamic and harsh environments. Worldwide safety regulations in aerial work platforms and agriculture and construction vehicles are becoming more rigorous than ever. From an excavator digging trenches to a boom lift helping workers pick cherries or install overland lines, tilt sensors confirm that safety and increased uptime […]
SMI pressure sensor package enables portable applications
TE Connectivity (TE) has developed a minimal footprint SMI SO-10 pressure sensor package with vertical port, which is now in full production. Inside the housing, a MEMS pressure sensor, based on TE’s proprietary silicon technology platform, and an advanced signal-conditioning IC are combined to provide a fully pressure calibrated and temperature compensated output. Covering gauge […]
SMI pressure sensors offer low pressure sensing ranges
There is an increasing demand for lower pressure sensing capabilities in the industrial and medical markets. From HVAC and gas flow, to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), ventilation, and patient monitoring applications, the ability to detect small pressure changes is critical. This demand requires pressure sensors to be highly accurate and provide long-term stability in […]
