For sensing applications exposed to temperatures from -25 degrees C to +180 degrees C, Baumer has introduced the new IFRH Series of Inductive High Temperature Sensors, a family of two-part proximity switches available in M8, M12 and M18 designs with chromium nickel steel housings. Intended for flush-face installation, the IP67-rated IFRH sensors are designed to […]

Designing with Semiconductor Temperature Sensors
By John R. Gyorki Editorial Director Semiconductor temperature sensors are easy to use if you do your homework when matching the sensor with the application. Temperature sensors are designed into every heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. Automotive systems rely on temperature sensors for engine control. Many industrial processes require highly accurate and stable temperature […]
Combination Liquid Level and Temperature Switch
A liquid level and temperature switch was designed into one assembly to reduce the cost of a fluid system. Tempco can design a custom sensor to meet many applications such as industrial and commercial degreasers and hot liquid dispensing machines. Liquid Level Sensor Options The liquid level sensing can be obtained using magnetic floats and […]
Micro-machined Silicon Pressure Transducers
Omegadyne announces the most durable version of its high accuracy MM Series micro-machined silicon pressure transducers. The new hermetically sealed version of the MM Series features all welded Stainless Steel construction, 316 wetted parts and glass to metal seals (GMS) at the electrical outlets. This ensures that the unit is hermetically sealed from external environments […]
Designing with Thermistors
John R. Gyorki, Editorial Director Temperature sensor applications usually fall into one of three general categories; monitoring, control, or circuit compensation, and four sensor types; thermocouples, thermistors, resistance-temperature detectors (RTD), and semiconductor temperature sensors. When selecting a sensor, some key characteristics to consider include temperature range, accuracy, response time, minimal temperature effect on the measured […]
