Pressure Transducer Basic Working Principle A pressure transducer is a type of pressure sensor which gives accurate measurement on real-time pressure. This can be either absolute, gauge, differential or vacuum pressure. All pressure transducers have a port, this is a tubular hole in which...

Different types of load cells use different technologies. Most of the load cells we offer use strain gauge technology. Strain gauges are very small devices which react to force or load. Strain gauge load cells convert the force applied to them into electrical signals. The strain gauges are...

Temperature Sensor Basics - Applications Temperature sensors can be a vital part of an application. They will monitor the temperature to ensure devices can function correctly and safely. Some of the applications temperature sensors are used for are more commonplace whereas others are very...

Pressure transducers are available in different types which makes them suitable for different applications and industries. Each has different features to suit their environments. A pressure transducer is a sensing device which accurately measures real-time pressure, this can be either absolute,...

Features of Automotive Sensors Automotive sensors are constantly exposed to very harsh and ever-changing environments. They must be rugged and durable, as they are constantly exposed to changing temperatures, dust, dirt and moisture. Because of the nature of their use they must be highly...

What is a Potentiometer A potentiometer is a type of position sensor. They are used to measure displacement in any direction. Linear potentiometers linearly measure displacement and rotary potentiometers measure rotational displacement. The mechanical construction of rotary and linear...
