The UK's largest supermarket group has opted for the Optical Level Sensor to monitor liquid levels in its refrigeration packs. Invented and developed by Product Innovation, 500 units have been ordered and delivered with further orders expected in the near future and the company is now looking for exclusive distributors in the US. The unique and patented OLS (Optical Level Sensor), measures liquid level directly rather than calculating it from secondary effects as in capacitance and ultrasonic devices. It accurately measures the liquid level regardless of dielectric constant, conductivity or temperature ...

Cooling ceilings, critical areas in HVAC and technical installations, which are operating close to the dewpoint temperature, need an early alarm system against the forming of moisture, because of the potential danger of condensation. The new condensation monitor EE46 from E+E Elektronik is specially designed for such applications and can be installed in a few seconds on pipelines, walls, and ceilings. The early detection of “danger of condensation” and as a result the immediate start of counter measures renders this product as very significant ...

The Norcross ViscSense® System now incorporates the SenGenuity ViSmart^TM viscosity sensor. Utilizing Acoustic Wave Technology, the ViSmart^TM viscosity sensor is a solid-state, high-reliability, and precision device that provides sensitive, real time, in-line viscosity measurement and temperature monitoring capability. The industrial grade ViSmart^TM Viscosity Sensor has a wide operating range that is unaffected by shock, orientation, or flow conditions.

Elmhurst, IL (January 27, 2010) - ASM Sensors, Inc. introduces its smallest addition to the POSITILT® inclinometer series that is available in single and dual axis versions. By using MEMS technology, this new inclinometer PTAM20 series is packaged into a very compact, flat housing making it ideally suited for OEM applications. The measurement range for the single axis version is available from +/-15° to +/-180°, in increments of 15°. For the dual axis version, the measurement range is available from +/- 15° to +/- 60°, in increments of 15° ...

January 25, 2010 - Sherborne Sensors has introduced the A545 series, a range of single, biaxial and triaxial solid state linear accelerometers, designed to measure acceleration and deceleration within demanding environments, and within the same, compact package size. Available in ranges from ±2 to ±500g, A545 series accelerometers feature an advanced MEMS sensor, incorporating air damping. Unlike fluid-damped devices, air damping is essentially independent of temperature, which enables the transducer to reliably perform over a wide temperature range. Sensors are fully compensated for temperature effects on both sensitivity and zero, and incorporate positive mechanical stops. Housed within a robust, lightweight, (less than 40 gm), durable light alloy package with solder pin connectors, the A545 series confers excellent shock resistance, and provides reliable over-ranging protection ...

Towcester – UK – January 2010: The MagnetoPot is new non-contacting linear potentiometer based upon a fully sealed membrane strip and a simple magnet that together provide position feedback from 8 mm to 1200 mm in a low profile and robust design with exceptionally long life capability. Manufactured by USA based membrane sensor experts Spectra Symbol, and available exclusively in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, the MagnetoPot is ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic position sensing and other medium precision position feedback applications such as liquid level monitoring. A rotary version is also available for compact, low profile angle sensing. The MagnetoPot is similar in concept to a traditional membrane type potentiometer but rather than use a contacting wiper to connect the collector to the resistive element, relies upon the interaction of a non-contacting external magnet and an encapsulated magnetic or ferromagnetic strip to determine the electrical output and hence relative position. The thin IP 65 membrane has a typical membrane thickness of less than 3.5 mm - allowing the position sensor to be discretely installed with either the magnet or the membrane strip attached to the moving component ...

Columbia Research Laboratories, Inc. offers a family of strain sensors that allow critical undercarriage structures and surfaces to be more accurately monitored than by using less accurate counting accelerometer methods. All of the sensors in the DT Series incorporate the proven technology of the flight-qualified DTD2684. Designed to monitor the fatigue loading experienced by aircraft under various conditions of flight speed, weight and mission configuration more accurately than older technologies. All of the sensors in the DT Series are easy to install and feature rugged construction. Basic technology, including self temperature compensating and high output has been enhanced in some models to meet specific application needs ...
