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...

RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, so an RTD Sensor is a type of Temperature Sensor. An RTD Sensor contains a resistor which changes resistance value as the temperature changes. What are RTD sensors used for? RTD Sensors are more accurate and stable than other temperature sensors...

The demand for pressure measuring instruments increased during the steam age. When pressure sensing technologies were first manufactured they were mechanical and used Bourdon tube gauges to move a needle and give a visual indication of pressure. Nowadays we measure pressure electronically using...

With Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Hermetically sealed Stainless Steel options, you can find a load cell to suit your needs. The most common applications for single point load cells are found in small to medium sized platform scales. 1. L6N Single Point Load Cell The L6N Single Point Load...
