Optical flag sensors added to TTI portfolio
The OPB850A family of optical flag sensors from TT Electronics – Optek are now available from distributor TTI.
Transducer provides durability against pressure spikes
To serve an increased demand among design engineers in the industrial and commercial transportation (ICT) and industrial space for reliable sensors and components that improve operational efficiency in hydraulic machinery and compressed gas applications, TE Connectivity (TE), has developed the M9100 pressure transducer.
HV210 pressure sensor enhances differential module
Superior Sensor Technology has announced that Dwyer Instruments is using the HV210 pressure sensor in its Series DP3 Wireless Differential Pressure Module for measuring air flow and velocity in HVAC equipment.
Making a splash: robust barometric pressure sensors
Until now, many barometric pressure sensors have not been resistant against liquids and thus it has been challenging to integrate them into waterproof products. To address this issue, Bosch Sensortec developed the BMP384, a robust barometric pressure sensor delivering market-leading accuracy in a compact package.
Wireless M-Bus gateway for reporting data from sensors
Webdyn has announced that it is launching a new gateway, based on Wireless M-Bus technology, to autonomously collect data from Wireless M-Bus meters or sensors. The W M-Bus point-to-point radio protocol using 868Mhz is traditionally used in Smart Metering and Smart Buildings, particularly for its relatively moderate consumption.
UK grant for IoT sensor networks to detect forest fires
Innovate UK is backing a technology breakthrough that puts Pyreos and Tethir, along with their academic partners, Imperial College London and King’s College London, at the forefront of the fight against wildfires. The grant of £500k from Innovate UK supports the development of the first widely deployable ultra-low power IoT sensor networks to detect forest fires for power companies.
Rotary position sensor for automotive electrification
ams has announced the introduction of the AS5116 magnetic rotary position sensor, designed to support safer, smarter and greener mobility. By offering accurate, contactless angle measurements in demanding automotive applications such as high-speed motors, it enables automotive manufacturers to accelerate the electrification trend.
6-DoF XYZ-axis MEMS-based inertial sensor with digital SPI interface
Murata has announced the introduction of a 6-DoF (Degrees of Freedom) MEMS-based XYZ-axis inertial sensor for high precision machine control and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning support. The SCHA63T features a digital SPI interface, enabling engineers to deliver industrial equipment with robust and reliable, centimetre-level positioning accuracy, even in environments where there is high mechanical shock and vibration.
