Potentiometer-based sensors offer impressive price vs. performance: Novotechnik’s well-proven LWH series linear position sensors gain from design optimisation

The non-comprising, highly durable and long-life characteristics of potentiometer-based linear sensors, plus their signal processing simplicity, makes them a compelling choice for new applications when comparable speed, accuracy, linearity, resolution, hysteresis, and temperature range would entail...

Variohm launch new medical NTC thermistor

The new thermistor is encapsulated in a brown Stycast thermally conductive epoxy coating and electrical interfacing is via two 76 mm, 32 AWG solid Alloy 180 leads.  Its miniature form, measuring just 2.4 mm at the tip, will suit straightforward integration into many types of medical probes and...

Long travel position feedback with CAN SAE 1939 comms: Combilift’s CSS container loading system uses Variohm EuroSensor supplied cable extension transducers

This innovative system features a large platform where goods are pre-loaded on a powered steel slip-sheet, and with integral laser-assisted container alignment and hydraulic levelling the slip sheet and its payload are driven directly into the container hold using Combilift’s patented...

Wachendorff’s WDGA series absolute encoders offer significant advantages for demanding precision measurement tasks

With a single turn resolution of up to 16-bits and a multiturn capability to 43 bits, the German sensor specialist’s EnDra® magnetic encoding technology offers an impressive angular measurement accuracy of +/- 0.09°, coupled with a feedback cycle time up to 50 µsec that suits...

ZEMIC load sensors find novel use for critical health monitoring function on Apiago’s smart beehives

Apiago also supports businesses and communities in preserving pollinators by providing the food and shelter necessary for their presence. The Apiago beehive, visible to all, is the symbol of this initiative for biodiversity. The wall mounted autonomous, solar-powered hive, with its dedicated...

Robust magnetic encoders offer increased application flexibility

Wachendorff Automation, the encoder and measurement systems manufacturer, has launched a new variant of its well-proven industrial grade rotary encoders that feature a freely definable pulse count. The new WDGP series, available in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, offers any number of output pulses...
