Solid state oxygen sensors address ecological Demands
Recognised as a leading supplier of advanced gas and fluid sensor technology, SST Sensing offers a comprehensive array of oxygen measurement devices. Complementing the company’s high performance Zirconia product offering, the LuminOx family uses proprietary solid state technology to deliver sensors with the cost effectiveness found in commonly-used electrochemical oxygen sensors, but with a series of key additional benefits.
Acoustic sensors smaller than a match box but with big benefits
The F77 series ultrasonic sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are especially designed to fit in tight spaces, but there is also more to offer. These miniature sensors are suitable for dirty and dusty application environments, and are adept at handling colour variations or transparent targets.
ISO/TS 16949 certification confirms highest process quality
After a series of comprehensive and intensive audits, HolyStone has extended its range of quality certificates with the international ISO/TS 16949 standard for its range of multi–layer ceramic capacitors.
Linear position sensors suitable for harsh environments
A range of linear and angular position sensors from ZF pursue new ways in terms of efficiency. Based on a modular system, the sensor is available as an ANG version for angular position measurements or as a LIN-version for linear position measurements. Whereas the ANG-series adds to the existing range of angular position sensors, the linear position sensor provides options for ZF customers.
New dimensions in performance with piezo actuators
The piezo actuator with haptic feedback and integrated sensor functionality has been presented by TDK Corporation at this year’s electronica. The new actuator specialises in acceleration, force and response time, and helps to enhance the sensory experience of HMIs by engaging the full range of human tactile sensitivity.

The new generation linear and angular position sensors from ZF pursue new ways in terms of efficiency. Based on a modular system, the sensor is available as an ANG version for angular position measurements or as a LIN-version for linear position measurements. Whereas the ANG-series adds to the existing range of angular position sensors, the linear position sensor opens a new scope for ZF customers.
Driving comfort improved with pressure sensors
At this year's electronica in Munich, Germany, Bosch launches the SMP14x, a pressure sensor for hydraulic pressure measurement in automatic transmissions. With a response time of less than 1 millisecond, the sensor measures pressure to operate the clutch with high precision.
Sensing technologies added to Avnet Abacus linecard
Avnet Abacus and TE’s well-established relationship now includes the distribution of TE sensors for use in diverse markets including automotive, industrial, transportation, and aerospace and defence. TE’s advanced sensor portfolio enables the measurement of pressure, temperature, position, torque, vibration, humidity and fluidic properties and more.
IO-link enables Industrial IoT (IIoT)
IO-link is a relatively new standard for industrial sensors, that is showing a phenomenal growth trajectory. From about 250,000 installed IO-Link sensors in 2009, it is now estimated that over three million IO-Link sensors are now deployed. Suhel Dhanani, Principal MTS, Industrial Strategy, Maxim Integrated explains.
Sensors recognise full range of human conditions
The B5T HVC-P2 face detection sensor modules from Omron Electronic Components are now in stock at Mouser Electronics. These fully integrated Human Vision Component (HVC) plug-in modules are based on the Omron OKAO Vision Image Sensing Technology, a set of image recognition routines developed by Omron that can identify human bodies and faces with speed and accuracy.
