New cartridge flow transmitter revolutionizes hydraulic flow monitoring

March 23, 2022 By Mary Gannon

The T-18A version of the Cartridge Flow Transmitter (CFT) from DGD Fluid Power features clear Zinc trivalent electroplating. The CFT provides continuous flow monitoring of all hydraulic functions in a simple, easy to integrate design, a first in the industry.

Dale Dietel always knew there could be a better way to understand hydraulic system flows. Tired of the frustration born from the lack of easy flow monitoring, he invented his technology to provide continuous flow monitoring of all hydraulic functions — the world’s first Cartridge Flow Transmitter (CFT), from DGD Fluid Power. The CFT offers […]

How do linear transducers work?

July 23, 2021 By Mary Gannon

Ametek linear displacement transducer

By Josh Coford, Contributing Editor Temperature, pressure, and displacement are typical transducer offerings. A linear displacement transducer measures linear position or distance, especially when high accuracy is needed. Linear transducers work using a principle called magnetostriction. A typical transducer uses three major components; the sensor assembly, a waveguide and a permanent magnet. The sensor assembly […]
