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.
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.
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.
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. By Bruce Rose, Principal Applications Engineer, CUI Devices.
Miniature piezo force sensor covers wide measuring range
It has been announced that HBM’s new PACEline CFTplus series of piezoelectric force transducers is a well suited choice for making measurements in the production and manufacturing sectors. CFTplus sensors are particularly suitable for covering very large measuring ranges, for example, when using presses with a large measuring range.
Drop-in IR transducer module bypasses pcb redesigns
PCB redesigns can now be avoided using a device for IrDA-compliant infrared (IR) transceiver modules in the standard 6.8 mm by 2.8 mm by 1.6 mm footprint. Vishay Semiconductors' TFBR4650 offers a reliable drop-in replacement for devices from other manufacturers.
Current, voltage and power solutions for industrial automation
NK Technologies has released the 2019 product catalogue, which features performance data, sizes, specifications, and technical references for the company’s extensive portfolio of current sensing switches, transducers, transformers, and ground fault protection products.
Wireless torque measurement at the heart of distribution network
The evolution of the UK’s power distribution network holds the key to harnessing the benefits of variable power sources such as wind, tidal and solar farms, as well as numerous other distributed power technologies. But connecting these various sources to the network is not without its challenges, and is the subject of research at the University of Warwick, where a test rig has been built to identify the requirements of a suitable power elec...
