What are load cells used for?
Load cells are one of the key strategic products supplied by Variohm, with now over 20 years’ experience in this market with so many varied and different applications, some of these uses are well-known where as others are very industry specific.
Uses of Linear Potentiometers
Linear potentiometers are part of the Variohm position sensor range. As well as providing products from our key suppliers, we also manufacture and distribute our own range of linear potentiometers.
The Advantages of Hall Effect Sensors
Hall Effect sensors are a type of non-contacting position sensor. They can be either rotary or linear and because they are non-contacting, they are wear free and have virtually infinite life.
Pressure Sensor Uses
Pressure Sensors are one of our main product categories; we mainly supply pressure switches and pressure transducers.
Advantages of RTD sensors
Here at Variohm, we can design, manufacture and modify many different types of temperature sensors. One of the types of temperature sensors we have available is RTDs.
Pressure Switches for Alarm Systems.
Pressure switches are often used as part of an alarm system to safeguard continuous operation. This is common in a variety of industries and we have come across many in medical applications.
What is an S Type Load Cell?
“S type” load cells are just one of the many different force/load cells we have available from our key suppliers, Vishay and Zemic.
Advantages of Conductive Plastic Potentiometers
When we refer nowadays to a potentiometer as a sensor, it is important to bear in mind the statements made here only apply if the potentiometer is connected as a voltage divider rather than as a variable resistor.
Types of Temperature Sensor
There are many different types of Temperature Sensor. Here, at Variohm we can offer a wide selection of Temperature Sensors which can be used for different applications.
