The flowmeters to look out for in 2018
Flowmeter technology has made some significant steps in the past few years. While the traditional mechanical systems have remained relatively unchanged, the development of ultrasonic, sonar and magnetic systems has progressed significantly.Bürkert for example has developed a flowmeter in which none of the components are in direct contact with the fluid and which causes no restriction to flow.
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. Therefore LEM has introduced the GO miniature transducers, which have been designed to achieve a 2µs response time from 2 standard, cost-effective SO8 or SO16 pack...
Long service motors tested after re-engineering
Specialist industrial motor manufacturer Solutions Engineering in Stoke on Trent is able to test the performance of its motors, having built a test station to its own specification based around a piezo electric torque transducer.It manufactures a range of bespoke slip ring motors for driving equipment such as vibrators and pumps, currently in sizes 4kW to 55kW but with plans for larger units in the future.
Videos launched to help understand sensor measurement amplifiers
Burster, the German measurement technology specialist represented in the UK by Ixthus Instrumentation, has released a series of instructional videos that show configuration and application examples for its DIGIFORCE 9311 force and displacement controller and the 9250/51 series transducer amplifier and bus controller.
Open loop current transducers feature 10MHz clock frequency
At this year's PCIM show, LEM has announced the completion of its digital output versions of HO and HLSR open-loop hall effect current transducers with analogue to digital (A/D) conversion performed by an on-board sigma-delta modulator, giving a 1-bit serial bitstream output.
Making the voltage measurement more compact
The new DVC 1000-P model for insulated nominal voltage measurements in traction and industrial applications has been announced by LEM. This device measures a nominal voltage of 1000 VRMS and incorporates isolating amplifier technology. Despite achieving very high levels of isolation with a safety insulation voltage of 4.2kV, the DVC 1000-P transducer is really compact, measuring only 37x43x23.5mm and can be mounted on printed board for a total vo...
Fluxgate-based current sensors for high accuracy measurement
LEM has expanded its range of high accuracy transducers with the new IN 1000-S for non-intrusive and isolated measurement of DC, AC and pulsed nominal current of 1000 A. LEM already launched a 2000 A model last year as first model of this range reinventing the fluxgate technology.
Robust three-point PCB sockets announced
High-reliability connector supplier Harwin has announced further additions to its Sycamore Contact product offering. While this series was initially capable of accommodating one and 1.5mm diameter contact pins, it now covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm.
The top ten development boards of 2018
Every year Arrow Electronics release a list of the top ten dev boards on the market today. To help make 2018 your most innovative year yet, here are the top ten development boards and kits of 2018.
3-point PCB socket series covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm
Harwin has announced further additions to its Sycamore Contact product offering. While this series was initially capable of accommodating 1mm and 1.5mm diameter contact pins, it now covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm.There are a wide variety of scenarios where electronic devices/modules will require replacement over time (such as depleted gas sensors or worn-out energy harvesting transducers).
