High-temperature LVDTs serve as reliable retrofits
The High-Temperature HATR-750 Series of LVDT Position Sensors from NewTek Sensor Solutions offers a reliable and long-term solution to sensors that fail when operating in environments with unanticipated temperature spikes. For example, steam valves in power generation plants can have undetected leaks when moving, causing periodic rises in temperatures beyond original operating specifications.
Environmental sensors for automated air quality assurance
Air quality and regular ventilation have become highly relevant in pandemic times. Minute droplets (known as aerosols) are emitted not only when coughing or sneezing, but also during normal breathing and when talking. Viruses can be found in these aerosols. Frequent and effective ventilation and environmental sensors are therefore more important than ever.
Evaluation tools for ultrasonic flow converters
ScioSense has announced the availability of a new tool suite which accelerates the development of utility meters and other applications for its latest AS6031 and AS6040 ultrasonic flow converters (UFCs). The new development tools include general-purpose or microcontroller-specific boards, and evaluation software which provides an intuitive GUI for sensor configuration and for the display of measurement outputs.
All in one multisensor in stock at Rutronik
With sensors for measuring brightness, humidity, temperature and acceleration as well as a magnetic contact for open/closed status monitoring make the STM 550 multisensor an all-rounder for smart environments and IoT.
Pressure sensor is designed for easy handling
The ICP-10125 pressure sensor from TDK Invensense achieves low-pressure noise of 0.4 Pa RMS, attains a low-power consumption of 1.3 µA, and ensures excellent temperature stability with a temperature coefficient of ±0.5 Pa/°C.
MEMs sensor optimised for vibration monitoring
A new vibration-sensing solution optimised to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment to power the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications has been introduced by STMicroelectronics.
Analogue accelerometer for small hearable devices
The VA1200 from Vesper is claimed to be the world’s first analogue piezoelectric voice accelerometer (a.k.a. bone conduction sensor).
Mass air flow sensors enhanced with parylene coating
What it describes as the next generation of its mass air flow sensors for use in respiratory care and other medical and instrumentation applications has been introduced by Posifa Technologies.
RS expands sensors range for factory automation
RS Components (RS) has expanded its RS PRO sensors range to give customers a comprehensive choice of sensors for use in factory automation applications.
Passive pyroelectric infrared motion sensors released
Panasonic Industry has announced that with its latest 'Flat Square Type' it now offers an evolution of its successful PaPIRs (passive pyroelectric infrared) motion sensor, coming with an inconspicuous flat and square 9.6x9.6mm lens that hides the typical motion detector look.
