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...

When discussing different types of temperature sensors, it could mean types of temperature sensors for different applications, for example, NTC thermistors or Space Qualified Thermistors are both thermistors but require different standards of specifications. It could also mean the type of...

It was discovered in 1879 by an American physicist, Edwin Hall, although, the work was ahead of its time so no one had a use for it until decades later when semiconducting materials became better understood.  Hall Effect sensors are becoming more popular as they can be used in many...

Weighbridges are just one of the applications we can provide load cells for, some of the load cells we offer are particularly suited to weighbridge applications.   Weighbridges, usually mounted permanently on a concrete foundation, will weigh an entire vehicle and its contents.  Load...
