Thin films offer promise for ferroelectric devices
Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology demystify the ferroelectric properties observed in hafnium-oxide-based thin films, revealing a potentially useful device material.
Strain gauge programme covers many applications
A new stocking programme has been instigated by Micro Measurements and its distributor Digi-Key Electronics covering a wide range of standard strain gauges. It includes most popular models used in critical circuits for load cells, force transducers, avionics, transportation, high-temperature, military, and space systems, in addition to automatic test equipment, farm machinery, alternative energy, automotive, medical, and energy exploration applic...
PZT materials withstand extreme deep sea pressures
Test carried out by Morgan Advanced Materials on its proprietary range of Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT) materials for deep sea applications are proving they can withstand pressures greater than any they are likely to encounter in deep sea use with no loss of performance.
Magnetically coupled components target frequencies of up to 500kHz
German manufacturer of soft magnetic materials and inductive components, SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus, has expanded its portfolio of inductive components with the development and design of magnetically coupled components.
Environmental monitoring highlighted at Birmingham show
An extensive array of solutions for addressing the key challenges in creating environmental monitoring solutions will be shown by Anglia Components, Analog Devices and Honeywell Sensing & Control at the Sensors and Instrumentation exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham (Sept 30-Oct 1).
Strain indicator and recorder meets field applications
The Model P3 Strain Indicator and Recorder from Micro Measurements is now available from Digi-Key Electronics. The portable, lightweight, and rugged four-channel instrument is designed to read and store data from four strain gauge or transducer inputs, providing full test functionality in field and laboratory test locations.
ASIC design improves transducer performance
An ASIC with on-chip Hall sensing elements improves the offset and offset drift compared to former circuits improves the performance of closed-loop current transducers. Fabrice Salvi, LEM, explains.
Transducers isolate nominal measurements
LEM has extended its range of high-accuracy current transducers, announcing the series of IT xx5 transducers for non-intrusive and isolated nominal measurements of DC, AC and pulsed currents from 60 to 600A. The new range includes four models: IT 65-S, IT 205-S, IT 405-S and IT 605-S.
High current & voltage power op amp drives piezo transducers
Based on its MP108FD power op amp, Apex Microtechnology has released a next-gen open frame POA, the MP118FD. The MP118FD mirrors the high current and high voltage performance features of the MP108FD, adding a more comprehensive set of circuit protection capabilities, along with better thermal efficiency. Apex expects that customers using the MP118FD will find even more to like when it comes to driving piezo transducer applications.
Competition drowns out diversification in sensor & actuator markets, says report
Stiff competition in sensors for high-volume design wins and a recovery in actuator growth shuffled the ranking of suppliers in the $9.2bn market for sensors and actuators in 2014, according to IC Insights’ 2015 reportA Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes.
