Rotational speed sensors allow highly sensitive mobile machine control

August 13, 2020 By Mary Gannon

Sugar beet harvesters from Homer Maschinenbau require precise data collection, provided by Rheintacho speed sensors.

Holmer Maschinenbau GmbH, a German-based agricultural company, developed the first self-propelled six-row sugar-beet harvester in 1974. Since that time, the Holmer machines have been in successful operation by customers in over 40 countries world-wide. On its sugar beet harvesters, it requires a precise collection of actual values directly at the place of consumption (propulsion, toppers, […]

AutomationDirect adds inductive linear position transducers

July 21, 2020 By Mary Gannon

alliance-linear-transducers-5x7

Linear Variable Inductance Transducers (LVITs) from Alliance Sensors Group convert the linear displacement of an object into a proportional electrical signal output of 0-10 V or 4-20 mA (depending on model). LVITs are contactless devices designed for dimension or position measuring applications where the sensing element cannot be attached to the object being measured. LVITs […]
