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...

There are many ways to measure temperature and different devices can be used. These temperature measuring devices or temperature sensors can include; Temperature probes Thermometers Thermistors Thermocouples RTD sensors Combined temperature sensors Semi-conductor based temperature...

We have a range of hall effect sensors which are programmable. Angular position sensors are available in different technologies, these can be either contacting or non-contacting. Their measurement ranges can be either single turn or multiturn. Multiturn sensors can measure angles beyond one...

LVDTs are a sensor used to monitor linear displacement. They convert the linear motion of an object into an electrical signal. Working principle of an LVDT LVTDs are constructed of a primary coil, one or two secondary coils, a ferromagnetic core (or slug), and a housing – usually...

Pressure transducers can be defined as a type of sensor which converts physical pressure into an electrical signal. They can be used for measuring pressure in liquids and gases. Pressure transmitter is another term commonly used for a Pressure Transducer and are suitable for a range of applications...

There are different types of temperature sensors available and they each use different technologies and principles to take the temperature measurement. Different Types of Temperature Sensor Thermistors can be very small in size. They consist of a sensing element which can be either glass or...
