ME, MR and MHP Series inductive linear sensors for hydraulic cylinders position feedback
Alliance Sensors Group has announced the expansion of the ME, MR, and MHP Series Linear Position Sensors used to measure the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile, or subsea applications. With no magnet required the installation and cost of ownership is dramatically reduced without sacrificing accuracy specifications. The ME (embedded version) […]
Linear sensors to be embedded in hydraulic cylinders
Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the ME Series Linear Position Sensors for embedded use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile, or subsea applications. The ME Series is designed to be drop-in form, fit, and function replacements for embedded magnetostrictive sensors but with much more robust construction […]
Explosion proof pressure transmitters for Zone 1 environments
American Sensor Technologies, Inc. has achieved ATEX certification of its Explosion Proof Pressure Transmitters for Class I Zone 0 Exd hazardous locations. The added approvals enhance the ability for equipment manufacturers to specify AST pressure transducers as the sensors can now operate in both North America and Europe. AST Explosion Proof Pressure Transducers are commonly […]
Modular transducer allows measurements up to 130 ft
Position sensing in mobile applications can be tricky, especially on large machines with long boom cylinders. Such machines often rely on cable reels and string pots, but these devices are not always reliable. They can stretch, thus require recalibration. And the elements—winds causing erratic readings and dither in the hydraulics, ice buildup preventing the wire […]
When Your Business and Your Life Depend on Safety and Reliability
Operating in a hazardous environment? The consequences are just too big to make compromises on system components. Ashcroft® safe pressure transmitters are backed by a solid track record of secure operation in oil and gas installations. The A2X (explosion-proof/flame-proof) and A4 (intrinsically safe, non-incendive) transmitters carry approvals that include FM, ATEX, CSA, UL and CE […]
STAUFF Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) Monitors Engine Oil Condition
Interval oil changes are now a thing of the past thanks to the new STAUFF Oil Quality Sensor (OQS). Because the OQS from STAUFF monitors oil condition – contamination and moisture – oil can be changed based on need rather than a set interval. This alone can lead to the savings of millions of gallons […]

MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), a global supplier of test systems and position sensors, announced that the Sensors Division introduced the Temposonics® MH-Series Model MXR linear position sensor, the latest addition to the company’s MH-Series for off-highway equipment. The Model MXR sensor provides customers with a way to realize the benefits of MTS’ non-contact Temposonics® […]
MTS Expands Product Offering to Include Hall Effect Sensors
MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), a global supplier of test systems and position sensors, announced that the Sensors Division has expanded its product line for mobile equipment to include the new Model HE hall effect linear position sensor. “By offering the Model HE sensor along-side our line of MH-Series linear positioning sensors, we are able […]
Measuring pressure with transducers
The measurement of pressure had once been a monopoly of Bourdon tube pressure gauges, and if you wanted to check the pressure at any location in a fluid power circuit, you had to go right to the source to install a pressure gauge at the location you wished to measure. The invention of test points […]
