At Sensors Expo 2019, Sergey Komarov, a field application engineer for Sensors and Specialist Components at TT Electronics discusses the capabilities of his company’s OPB9000, a programmable surface mount device (SMD) reflective optical sensor. The sensor does not require additional peripheral circuitry such as op-amps, data converters or comparators, since all analog signal conditioning is […]

One Good Turn or 10 Million?
Multi-turn non-contacting rotary position sensors need to have a long operating life. For this purpose, TT Electronics MagnePot® 8150 Series was designed to operate reliably over a minimum of 10 million shaft rotations with no signal output degradation. The sensors use non-contacting Hall Effect sensing technology and high-performance internal bearings to provide a rotary position […]
Sense Torque – Save Fuel and More
Carmakers investigate and implement many technologies to save fuel. Rather than have a hydraulic, belt-driven power steering system, electronic power steering systems with a torque sensor measure the resistance and provided the appropriate amount of assistance and save fuel – as much as 5% reduced fuel consumption. Based on Hall Effect technology, TT electronics SX-4428 […]
