How Gemco is working around supply shortages for its linear position sensors
A wide range of industries is showing significant supply chain issues. However, the Michigan-based manufacturer of Gemco linear position sensors, AMETEK Factory Automation, has proven they can still deliver in a timely manner. In the past couple of years, an increasing supply shortage due to various factors has caused manufacturing and on-time delivery issues. On […]
New cartridge flow transmitter revolutionizes hydraulic flow monitoring
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 […]
Compact explosion-proof pressure switch features flameproof exposure
SUCO Technologies will be highlighting its newest pressure switch at Utility Expo next week, as it introduces what is says is the world’s most compact ATEX pressure switch. With the new ATEX series 0342 / 0343, SUCO introduces two compact explosion-proof pressure switches with flameproof enclosure. Attendees can see the new switches at Booth B-1823. […]
Danfoss and partners speed autonomous vehicle development
At the September NFPA/FPIC meeting, Peter Bleday, head of Danfoss Power Solutions autonomous vehicles group in Cambridge, Mass., discussed how the mobile industry has embraced more advanced technologies like autonomy, digitization and connectivity. In the process, he explained, Danfoss has had to expand its own product offerings and its PLUS+1 control platform, and also rely […]
How do linear transducers work?
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 […]
How to specify pressure sensors for hydraulic applications
Learn about common challenges and key specifications to consider when selecting pressure sensors for hydraulic systems with pressures greater than 50 bar (725 psi). Contributed by By Daniel Mullen, Product Manager, Sensata Technologies Pressure sensors are critical components in fluid power systems, where they are used in a control loop with a Program Logic Controller […]
Pressure transducer increases efficiency to limit downtime and failure
There is an increased demand among design engineers in the industrial and commercial transportation (ICT) and industrial space for reliable sensors and components that improve operational efficiency in hydraulic machinery and compressed gas applications. To serve this need, TE Connectivity has developed the M9100 pressure transducer. Based on TE’s proven Microfused strain gauge technology, M9100 […]
