Charge accelerometer handles high temperature tests
To make triaxial measurements easier for automotive and industrial engineers, Brüel & Kjær has created a new charge accelerometer, which enables fast and reliable high temperature tests - Type 4527‐C. The 4527‐C only needs one cable to link up with the three output channels on a data analyser system, reducing set up time during tests.
Piezo Ceramic Discs are the "Heart" of the Sensors
Automated industrial production of industrial goods in the highest quality would not be conceivable without ultrasonic sensors. They are indispensable in automation and among other things, are used for measuring distance and filling levels, for attendance monitoring or level adjustment. They check the gap between objects and therefore supply state variables for control. Therefore, the transducers are always the most important components in an ult...
ULVAC Launches G-TRAN Series Multi Ionization Gauge ST2
ULVAC, Inc announce that the company has developed G-TRAN series multi ionization gauge ST2, a transducer-type ionization vacuum gauge with a long product life that maintains high measurement accuracy even under harsh conditions, and will start selling the product in October 2015.
Data acquisition system upgraded with bridge measurement
A host of upgrades has been added to Brüel & Kjær’s data acquisition and analysis system - PULSE 20. These include a versatile bridge measurement tool for industries ranging from aerospace and defence to industrial and automotive.
Earfree headphones allow you to listen to music & the world around you
Wireless headphones were an up and coming trend; now ear-free headphones are available. BATBAND is a piece of sound technology allowing users to privately listen to music or chosen sound as well as being able to hear the world around them. The ear-free heaphones work via bone conduction, consisting of transducers that emit sound waves perceived by the 'private' inner ear, freeing the 'social' outer ear.
Hygienic measurement in explosive environments
The resistance thermometer GA2730 Minitherm of LABOM has a matching range of thermowells for hygienic temperature measurement and is approved for use in explosive environments. In addition the Pt100 element meets the SIL2 safety requirements of EN 61508 for functional safety. The unique combination of equally high hygienic and safety standards qualifies the type series GA2730 Minitherm for the thermowell system HP1200 for demanding measurement ta...
Metrix gains ATEX approval for field-configurable vibration measurement system
Metrix recently announced ATEX approval for its Digital Proximity System (DPS). Available with full support in the UK from Ixthus Instrumentation, the Metrix DPS is a three-part field-configurable measurement system for position, radial vibration and speed that comprises a digital proximity transducer, interfacing cable and a choice of signal conditioner - available as a driver for a machinery protection system or as a transmitter with a 4-20 mA ...
Sensor mimics bats to detect dangerous structural cracks
An ultrasound sensor for detecting dangerous cracks in structures such as aircraft engines, oil and gas pipelines and nuclear plants has been developed by researchers at the University of Strathclyde, with inspiration from the natural world.
The problem with wireless standard harmonisation
As more and more wireless devices come to the market, concerns have emerged within the standards body responsible for managing the radio spectrum allocation and wireless device conformance that more guidance is needed to help ensure spectrum sharing. Tony Ingham of Sensor Technology reviews the situation.
3D-printed ‘smart cap' detects spoilt food
Engineers from UC Berkeley, in collaboration with colleagues at Taiwan’s National Chiao Tung University, have 3D-printed a wireless 'smart cap' that can detect signs of spoilage in milk cartons using embedded sensors.
