Types of Temperature Measuring Devices There are many different types of temperature measuring devices. Each one is better suited to different applications and environments.   Here at Variohm, we have a wide range of temperature measuring devices, many of these are manufactured in...

Load Cell Accuracy D1 – C2 – this load cell accuracy class is relatively low. It is sufficient for applications in simple building materials scales which are used to weigh cement, sand or water as well as non-trade applications. C3 (0.0230%) – accuracy class C3 is the most...

Draw wire sensors are a type of linear position sensor. They use a cable and a spring-loaded spool to measure and detect linear displacement. Draw Wire Sensor Operating Principle Draw wire sensors are small in size compared to their measuring range. Often a draw wire sensor would be selected...

A sensor is a measuring device which senses a change in their surrounding environment, they are often manufactured into larger systems and devices and can monitor different variables depending on the type of sensor they are. There is a multitude of different sensor types, the most popular...

Thermistors measure temperature by measuring the resistance of the electrical energy passing through the thermistor which is relative to temperature. Negative Temperature Coefficient defines that as the resistance decreases the temperature increases and vice versa. Positive Temperature Coefficient...

Positions, speeds and lengths can be measured reliably and efficiently with the new measuring system LMSMA from WACHENDORFF. WACHENDORFF has significantly optimised the adjustment possibilities of the systems, which are based on a spring arm with a central spring. This results in numerous...
