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...
Fast and accurate isolated current measurement with mini transducers
A fast measurement speed, achieved within tight cost and size constraints while integrating the primary conductor in SO packages without compromising the necessary insulation, is often as critical as the other high performances for current measurement in motor-drive applications. That is why LEM’s GO miniature transducers have been designed to achieve a 2µs response time from 2 standard, cost-effective SO8 or SO16 packages for nominal...
Creating the next-generation of robotics
There is no doubting that robots are on the rise. And despite some naysayers claiming that automation will take jobs away from humans, all the evidence points to robotics improving productivity, cost effectiveness, safety and actually creating employment. By next year it is predicted that the number of industrial robots deployed worldwide will increase to around 2.6 million units.
Low cost evaluation tool for the Delfino F2837xD
From Texas Instruments, LAUNCHXL-F28379D is a low cost evaluation and development tool for the the Delfino F2837xD, F2837xS, and Piccolo F2807x series in the TI MCU LaunchPad ecosystem which is compatible with various plug-on BoosterPacks. This extended version of the LaunchPad supports the connection of two BoosterPacks.
Measuring torque without slip rings
Made by Sensor Technology, the TorqSense rotary torque sensors are unlike the traditional slip ring transducers. To start wit they use a simple non-contact radio link for collecting real-time torque signals, letting machine builders and control engineers can do away with expensive and temperamental slip ring, therefore simply mounting the sensors and checking the radio connection is all that is required to set up a TorqSense.
Electric vehicles getting revved up for launch
Saietta Group, a UK based research and development company which designs motors for lightweight electric vehicle (EV) propulsion has been working with Sensor Technology. The company’s latest innovation is the ‘S-AC’ which is an ultra-efficient brushless axial-flux AC motor. It boasts extreme efficiency levels at high torques from low speed onwards.
Cable and connector technology for spinal pain relief
Living with chronic neuropathic pain as a result of an accident or ageing that includes nerve damage can become a constant battle in our daily lives. Modern solutions include the installation of electrical signal pain modulations that help mask some of the pain signals.
