Precision transducers for high voltages in rail applications
Due to the liberalisation of the rolling stock market, more and more companies use the existing rail infrastructure. Trains are therefore equipped with energy measurement systems to track the power consumption of different operators and enable transparent billing. However, without reliable, highly accurate transducers, energy consumption data can only be of limited use.
Haptic IC driver cuts external BoM by 50%
electronica will provide the platform for Dialog Semiconductor to demonstrate the DA7280, a low power Haptic Driver Integrated Circuit (IC). The device is capable of driving both ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) and LRA (Linear Resonant Actuators) motors, offering High Definition (HD) Wideband Drive, 76% lower idle power consumption and a 50% reduction in external BOM (Bill of Materials) count compared to existing solutions on the market.
InnoTrans 2018: transducer innovations by Knick
Smooth-running services as well as passenger and employee safety in railway operations depend on functions such as emergency shutdown in the event of short circuits, detection of delayed potentials, and safe signal transmission. Therefore, transducers for railway applications must meet the highest standards of reliability and precision.
DDIT designed for non-contact linear position displacement
The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products has announced the release of a new eddy current measurement system, the Digital Differential Impedance Transducer (DDIT). The DDIT is designed to provide a digital interface for high speed eddy current measurement systems, with resolution in the micro-inch range, at bandwidths as high as 60kHz.
Next-gen closed loop current transducers achieve offset drift
The latest closed-loop Hall effect current transducers deliver the added performance of fluxgate transducers without the added cost. LEM have recently launched six separate families of LxSR transducers called LXS, LXSR, LES, LESR, LKSR, LPSR.
Could a DIY ultrasound be in your future?
Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their patent-pending innovation—no bigger than a Band-Aid—is portable, wearable and can be powered by a smartphone.Conventional ultrasound scanners use piezoelectric crystals to create images of the inside of the body and send them to a computer to cre...
Torque transducers help test electric and hybrid powertrains
Wireless rotary torque transducers from Sensor Technology are at the heart of a test rig to develop next generation technologies for electric and hybrid vehicle powertrains. With expertise in the electric motors and electronics used across the key powertrain technologies, AVID Technology relies on the innovative torque transducers as part of an automated approach to motor characterisation.
Programmable current-output digital-to-analogue converter
The DAC8775 is a quad-channel precision, fully integrated, 16-bit, digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) with adaptive power management, and is designed to meet the requirements of industrial control applications. The adaptive power management circuit, when enabled, minimises the power dissipation of the chip.
Early move positions sensor maker for high tech success
Sensor Technology has made a pre-emptive move to build a strong business base in the Indian city of Chennai, where one of the world’s largest high technology business zones is currently under construction. Called Mahindra World City, the zone already employs over 25,000 people and hosts companies like Infosys, BMW, Braun, TTK Group, Capgemini, Njmestronics, Renault-Nissan, Tech Mahindra, Wabco, Lincoln Electric, Wipro, Timken, cyber vole an...
DC current transducer monitors circuits with 1500VDC voltages
NK Technologies has introduced the DT-FD series DC Current Transducers. The DT-FD series provides a large sensing window and the ability to safely monitor circuits with voltages up to 1500VDC, and up to 400A.The sensor can be mounted on a DIN rail or attached to a back panel with screws.The easily accessible power supply, output-signal, and finger-safe terminals are located on the top of the sensor to allow for a clean and trouble-free installati...
