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...

A differential pressure switch is an electro-mechanical device which is used for sensing a difference in pressure between two points. How does a Differential Pressure Switch work? When connected to two pressure sources, the differential pressure switch can be used as an alarm to make or break...

There are many temperature measuring devices in the average home. Some of these will use thermistors. Here are some of the advantages of thermistors for temperature measurement. Thermistors are a type of temperature sensor; their electrical resistance varies as a function of their temperature....

The main purpose of the article is to discuss the advantages of Conductive Plastic Potentiometers. Rapid developments in the fields of control engineering, microprocessor and semiconductor technology have resulted in the widespread use of electronically controlled systems in every branch of...
