Mouser strengthens sensor solutions offering
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with Amphenol SSI, a designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensing solutions for the global automotive and industrial markets.
Torque hand tools suit safety critical applications
A series of battery-powered torque hand tools from Norbar Torque Tools has been introduced by RS Components. The EvoTorque Battery Tool (EBT) series has been specifically designed to deliver improved performance and data traceability in safety-critical and heavy industrial operations.
Complex microwave feed assembly for mobile satcom antenna system
Link Microtek has designed and fabricated a complex microwave feed assembly for use in a customer’s Ku-band mobile satellite-communications antenna system. The mobile antenna systems provide a durable and quickly deployable solution for anyone requiring reliable satellite communications facilities in remote locations.
Keeping trains moving; meeting new technology demands
A key element of the propulsion system for low speed urban transportation to high speed intercity trains is the traction converter that transforms the power from the power source, whether a catenary or diesel engine, to drive the electric motors.

Danisense opens DC calibration test lab
A DC calibration test lab has been established by Danisense at its Danish headquarters and manufacturing site in Taastrup. A free service for its high voltage 500V and 10,000V products, units are 100% tested and shipped with a Certificate of Calibration which details the actual current error (always significantly less than the ppm values specified in the datasheet), the error without offset and the linearity error.
Energy harvesting for 'net-zero-power' IoT devices
NB‑IoT and other low power wide area technologies have made ten year battery lives a reality in applications with minimal data transmission. Others need some extra power, which is precisely where energy harvesting fits in. Imagine an IoT device that performs year in, year out, powered by a steady drip of power scavenged from its immediate surroundings.
In-line strain gauge analogue amplifier to streamline calibration
A new in-line strain gauge amplifier from Mantracourt Electronics is set to streamline the calibration of a sensor thanks to its digital potentiometers and extremely simple and intuitive toolkit. Designed to convert strain gauge or load cell inputs into a 4-20 mA output, it provides more filtering than the existing embedded strain gauge amplifier range (ICA), and due to its small design, it can be easily integrated into compact installations.
Fuel cells - controlling the energy of the future
Fuel cells have been hailed as the energy source of the future; they can provide a non-polluting supply of power by re-combining hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity and water. The chemistry sounds very simple, however creating a reliable, efficient and safe energy source requires considerable expertise, especially in the control of the fluids and gases that are involved in this exciting technology.Tony Brennan, Field Segment Manager, at B&u...
Sensor family aids power measurement accuracy
National Instruments (NI) says it has selected Danisense products as its preferred current measurement sensor family for use with its RM-269994-channel power measurements conditioner. The Danisense DS50UB-10V, DS200UB-10V, DS600UB-10V and DS2000UB-10V current transducers features high accuracy, high bandwidth and low phase shift which are key requirements for accurate power measurement.
Photoacoustic spectroscopy miniaturises CO2 sensor
City dwellers often spend a large amount of their time indoors, either in an office, at school, or simply at home. Urbanised spaces, however, tend to trap and develop bad air quality as they get more insulated for energy efficiency purposes. The concentration of CO2 is an indicator for bad air quality.
