Many of our programmable angle sensors have been designed within our facility, and use Hall Effect technology, this means that their working principle utilises a device (Hall Effect Chip) to measure the direction of the magnetic field. An output is produced when the device senses a  radial...

One common use for load cells is on platform scales or platform weighing machines. Depending on the size of the item(s) which require weighing, different types of weighing scales and therefore different types of load cells are used.   They have a platform (hence the name Platform Scales)...

They can be used for many different applications throughout different industries; in fact, they are so diverse that the applications are almost endless.   What is a Pressure Transducer Used for? Pressure transducers are used to measure pressure – often either air pressure or...

Position Sensors can be used to measure either linear or rotary position using a whole range of sensing technologies. Position Sensors are used for many different applications, anything which requires measurement of movement will use a type of position sensor. We have supplied position...

What are Load Cells? Load cells are a type of sensor which are used to measure force and load. They convert the force into an electrical signal. Many load cells use internal strain gauges in order to do this. The strain gauges react to the compression and the change in resistance results in a...

The term mobile vehicle is very broad and can be used to describe a very wide range of vehicles which are not automotive vehicles.  Vehicles such as mobile cranes, agricultural machines, transport buses and earth movers all come under the mobile vehicle category.    Position...
