A negative temperature coefficient thermistor alters its resistance characteristics with temperature. What is a Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor? The name thermistor comes from the fact it is a THERMally sensitive resISITOR and Negative Temperature Coefficient refers to the...

Sensors for The Motorsport Industry We have provided sensors for Motorsport applications for many years. Some of our products have been specifically designed with this industry in mind. ELPM – our ELPM is a small linear potentiometer. It is suitable for limited space and is extremely...

Different displacement sensor types are used to suit different applications, for example, a small compact potentiometer would suit applications measuring foot pedal displacement whereas a larger heavy duty cable extension transducer would suit a longer-range application such as hydraulic boom...

If the thermostat is set to a certain level between 1-5, a certain temperature is associated with it. With setting 3, for example, it is around 20 degrees Celsius. Each increase or decrease by one position corresponds to a temperature change of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. Temperature...

What is a Canister Load Cell? Canister load cells are a type of weighing device. As the name suggests, they are cylindrical. Like many load cells, canister load cells use internal strain gauges to measure the change in shape due to the compression of force. Canister load cells are available...

Here, we will give a brief introduction to sensors, discussing the most popular types and applications where they can be found. Sensors can be found all around us; you will probably have come into contact with sensors every day. They are present in the home, the office, cars, buses, trains,...
