The mechanical construction of rotary and linear potentiometers is very similar, each type consists of a contact wiper and a conductive element or track. In Linear Potentiometers the track is straight and in Rotary potentiometers the track is circular. The wiper moves along the track to measure the...

Ensuring proper airflow Air filtration systems, including fume hoods, are essential for maintaining good air quality in commercial kitchens. Pressure switches play a key role in fume hoods by triggering alerts or shutdowns to prevent air contamination when pressure drops. These switches detect...

  Founded in 2019 by owner and operator, Stefan Etter, IEE initially focused on its innovative Drive By Wire System, which replaces traditional mechanical linkages, such as cables or rods, between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. Using sensors, actuators, and electronic...

Key benefits of waterproof switches Durability: Built to withstand challenging environments, waterproof switches provide long-term operation without degradation from water or debris. Safety: Waterproofing prevents electrical short circuits, enhancing safety in wet or humid...

What is a cable extension transducer? A cable extension transducer converts the linear movement of an object into an electrical signal that can be interpreted and analysed. The device consists of a flexible steel cable wound around a spool inside the transducer housing. As the object moves...

In non-flight APUs, temperature probes are critical components used to monitor and control the unit's operation. They are typically used in ground-based applications, such as in commercial or industrial settings, and are similar to those found on aircraft but operate under different conditions....
