Sigma-delta modulator eval kits aid industrial and automotive designs
To speed up current or voltage sensing design and evaluation, Broadcom has developed sigma-delta modulator evaluation kits for industrial and automotive applications.
When comparing flowmeters its: Coriolis vs Surface Acoustic Wave
An essential requirement for the control of many manufacturing processes is the flow measurement of liquids, because accurate control improves efficiency and guarantees quality.Whilst there are a number of different technologies available, when high accuracy is the requirement the Coriolis flowmeter has so far been the default choice. However, the development of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology for use in flowmeters has presented a challeng...
Water flow measurement improved with ultrasonic flow sensors
The accurate measurement of water flow in domestic metering or industrial applications can be affected by variations in ultrasonic sensing parameters over temperature. An improved 2MHz ultrasonic flow sensor (09265-001) developed by CeramTec delivers stable, consistent measurements by reducing zero flow offset to improve the accuracy of ultrasonic meters for utilities measurement from 0°C to 130°C.
Range of transducer’s dedicated to leakage current in PV inverters
The LDSR model from LEM announced at PCIM 2018, is a low cost and lightweight (25g) component, with a reduced footprint. The LDSR is dedicated to measuring the leakage current of 300mA nominal up to 900mA peak at 2KHz frequency.
New digital differential impedance transducer announced
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. It is suitable for use in applications for fast steering mirrors, magnetic bearing active control, shaf...
Power amplifier designed for live sound and concerts
As transducer technology evolves, new speakers are capable of increasingly higher powerhandling. Increasing the power to the speaker enables higher SPL output and extended lowfrequency bass output in cabinets that are lighter and more compact than ever before.
Torquing up success at Formula Student
For an engineering education competition, called Formula Student, high performance electric cars are being developed across Europe.The team from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal may have a secret weapon in the form of a test bench based upon a wireless torque sensor.
Stylish glasses assist people with Single-Sided Deafness
According to a study developed by students from the University of Tokyo, it is estimated that more than 7% of adults in the U.S. have a certain degree of SSD (Single Sided Deafness), also known as UHL (Unilateral Hearing Loss). However, unlike people with bilateral hearing loss, people with SSD can hardly be distinguished in daily life because they act and speak normally.
AMPER exhibition a success with five Zlatý winners announced
This year, the 26th year of the AMPER trade fair, saw the traditionally held Zlatý Amper awards (the Golden Amper) which consisted of the best and most beneficial products that were being showcased at the show for a range of companies. The awards ceremony was held on Tuesday 20th March in Hall P at the Brno exhibition centre, and saw a number of winners includes ABB, Rittal Czech and B+R automatizace, just to name a few.
Optical rotary torque sensors for high band width measurements
New benchmark performance standards for optical rotary torque transducers has been set by Sensor Technology, with the launch of the digital ORT 230/240 series. These new optical rotary torque sensors are suitable for applications when the demand is for low torque and/or high bandwidth, providing precise, dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque of less than 100Nm and for bandwidths of up to 50kHz.
