Ultrasonic sensor series offers flexibility and efficiency
A new series of ultrasonic sensor has been introduced by Pepperl+Fuchs with the UCC*-50GK series. Only two sensor versions are required for covering a wide range of applications. Intended for distance measurement, the UCC*-50GK uses ultrasonic pulses to measure the distance to the target and reports information through one of three sensor outputs. Versatile configuration options make the sensor incredibly adaptable.
Who and what was worth seeing at PCIM 2019?
Power is always an interesting topic as it is a necessity in life, but after visiting my first ever PCIM show this week it has opened my eyes as to how big the automotive power sector is, and how much it is expected to grow.Of course the big players in the automotive industry continue to innovate, but PCIM this year saw more companies starting to become involved in automotive power, whereas before they stuck to the more energy and industrial side...
PCIM Europe – where power is at the core of innovation
This year’s PCIM Europe was attended by a record number of visitors, over 12,000. Over half (54%) were from outside Germany. They came to see over 500 exhibitors and while the subject matter was diverse and wide-ranging, there were some themes that emerged. GaN and SiC jostled for attention at this year’s PCIM Europe, writes Caroline Hayes, alongside current sensor developments designed to accelerate adoption rates for electric vehicl...
Consumer electronics boosts demand for electromagnetic relay
The market for safety sensors and switches in ASEAN countries is likely to grow by more than eight percent, yearly, in 2019. As depicted in a new research study, adoption of safety sensors and switches across the ASEAN industries will be prominently driven by those based in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Current transducers provide immunity to magnetic fields
Danisensehas announced that its current transducers have been used by teams at CERN as part of a significant upgrade programme. The Danisense zero-flux DC current transducers (DCCT) are used in the design of QTRIM power supplies for thePS booster acceleratorwhich are part of a chain of accelerators that inject the beam into the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at theEuropean Laboratory for Particle Physics.
DC current transducer designed to measure up to 1.5KV
It has been announced that NK Technologies has introduced the DT-BB DC Current Transducer. The innovative design allows a split-core transducer to be installed over existing bus bars or wire, and to be easily mounted on a panel or DIN rail. The DT-BB is rated to measure DC current at working voltage to 1,500VDC.
Keeping hydraulic projects on course
Innovative TorqSense wireless sensors from Sensor Technology are playing an important role in new product development for Hydraulic Projects Limited (Hy-Pro), one of the UK’s developers and suppliers of hydraulic drive units for marine steering and autopilot systems.
Choosing the right buzzer - a review of key buzzer selection criteria
If you are designing products like a home appliance, security panel, a door-entry system or a computer peripheral, you might choose to feature a buzzer as the sole means of interacting with users or as part of a more sophisticated user interface.

Wireless torque sensors ensure airliners’ safety
The aerospace sector is renowned for its safety standards and a whole industry has grown up to provide equipment and services for testing aircraft and their subsystems.Airliners are subject to tremendous loads as they land and take off, from the touchdown of the undercarriage, to the back-thrust of the jet engines as they slow the aircraft on the runway and the wind pressure on the flaps and flight control surfaces when they are lowered to provid...
Design considerations when choosing a MEMS or ECM microphone
Conversational interaction with smart machines such as home digital assistants is a growing trend, and just one that is driving development of new high tech products that can listen to their surroundings, interpret commands, or gather contextual or environmental data.
