A string pot is a type of linear position sensor, they detect linear position and velocity using a flexible cable (string) and a spring-loaded spool.  How does a string pot work String pots consist of a measuring cable, a spool, a spring and a rotational sensor. The cable is wound...

In our time supplying pressure transducers we have come across many different applications - below we go on to discuss a few.  What is a Pressure Transducer?  A pressure transducer is a sensor which takes measurement and gives a real-time reading of pressure. This is different from...

Sensors and transducers are being used more frequently within the medical industry and have many different uses. They often play an important role in monitoring patients, treatment and for use within machines and devices.  Types of Medical Sensors  There are many different types of...

Different types of dual pressure and temperature sensors Within our range we have two different types of dual pressure and temperature sensors; EPTT - Eurosensor Pressure Transducer Temperature, meaning the two sensors are combined within the same housing - the temperature sensing element is...

Piezo sensors are used to measure the change in pressure, acceleration or strain by converting them into electrical charge. They offer very high sensitivity which makes them very well suited to applications within patient monitoring.  Piezo Sensor Applications Piezo sensors are used for...

Linear potentiometers are often rod actuated and connected to an internal slider or wiper carrier. The rod will be connected to a device or object which requires measurement. The linear potentiometer proportionally divides an applied regulated voltage over its operational range and provides a...
