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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To address the growing demand for the sensors needed to manufacture precision transducers, Micro-Measurements has released a series of products built using its Advanced Sensors strain gauge technology. The strain gauges offer a tighter resistance tolerance, improved gauge-to-gauge repeatability and better stability than standard strain gauges, while their advanced fabrication process helps to significantly reduce lead times.

The development of wireless vibration sensors is enabling a shift towards cloud-based predictive maintenance. By Bob Scannell, Analog Devices.

From Hall 7, Stand 122 at PCIM, Power Electronic Measurements will be showing its full range of Rogowski technology based wide-bandwidth current probes. These include the CWT Ultra-mini with a 1.7mm thick coil small enough to fit between the legs of a TO-220 device, the CWT with coil lengths from 300mm to over 1m for measuring currents in applications as diverse as lightning strikes to leakage currents in machine shafts.

Enerpac, with its official distributor Al Masaood Trading has supplied Lamprell with an EVO-Series Synchronous Lifting System to weigh a newly completed jack-up rig.
