Pressure sensors can be used across many industries, this blog post will explain more about pressure sensor uses. Pressure sensors have many uses; some of them are very common and are used in everyday objects. Others are very specialist and would only be found in specific industries. Many of our...

All of these terms are used to describe a type of position sensor which is used to measure linear position through the use of a flexible cable and a string loaded spool. The body of the cable extension transducer must be mounted to a fixed surface and the cable (usually stainless steel) is...

What is an RTD Sensor? RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, they measure temperature through resistance; the resistance value will increase as the temperature increases. RTDs are usually constructed of platinum, nickel or copper. RTD specifications include a base resistance value...

We have lots of different types of position sensors; we are a UK distributor of cable extension transducers, encoders, inclinometers, and membrane position sensors. We also have linear position sensors, rotary potentiometer and non-contacting rotary Hall-Effect sensors which are available...

This type of pressure measurement in medical devices can be critical to the patient. The job of the pressure switch is to give an indication of when a system is running outside of its safe parameters, either too low or too high.   Medical Gas Systems in Hospitals Pressure switches are...

Unlike other typical load cells, they take their “S type” name from their shape, as you can see from the picture to the right, although occasionally some people do prefer the term “Z type” The capacities of the S type load cells we can offer vary from 25kg up to around 30...
