Kavlico P6060
Pressure Sensors
are Ideal
for Medical Air Applications |
| |
 Moorpark,
CA – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors &
Technologies (CST) has recently introduced the P6060 high accuracy
pressure sensors that are suitable for air pressure measurements in
Oxygen concentrators, Respirators & Ventilators. These rugged,
lightweight (1.3 grams Max.) devices have a piezo-reseitive (PRT) sense
element in a low-profile surface mount package. Small in size, the
sensors measure 21.29 x 16.71 mm. Using a 5 volt input, the sensors
provide a 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc linear analog amplified output proportional to
pressure. The user has the option to specify a digital output that
conforms to SPI protocol. Internal temperature compensation using a
state-of-the-art ASIC insures an accurate ±1% of span total error band (TEB)
over 0 to +60°C. Available pressure ranges include 13" H20 and 0–1
through 0–75 PSIA, PSIG, and PSID. The easy-to-use P6060 sensors are
EMI/RFI and ESD protected, experience no mounting position effects and
provide a fast response. The sensors can be configured with custom
pressure ranges and port connections dependent upon the end-users
application-specific requirements. For applications that do not require
a ±1% accuracy, the P6050/P6060pressure sensors is available with a ±2%
TEB specification over temperature. As an additional benefit, the
sensors are RoHS compliant. ... |

electromagnetic phase or similar separation processes. The encoder also
serves as the control feedback for pneumatic or hydraulic drive systems
purposely operated in these same extreme environments and applications.
Based on Micronor’s patented ZapFREE™
Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder
technology, the all-optical, totally passive TD5207
Encoder/Sensor
is
identical in design to Micronor’s MR3XX series
fiber optic encoders
except for its construction of non-metallic materials. In operation, the
TD5207 Sensor links to the same MR310 Remote Encoder Interface Module
via a single fiber link – which can be up to 1000 meters long. The
"active" MR310 Module directly provides an array of conventional
digital/analog speed and position feedback signals, including: A/B quadrature signals, programmable analog outputs (both 4-20mA and 0-10V)

New Options for Spark Plug Sensors |
| |
 Piezocryst
Advanced Sensorics: By combining the expertise of the AVL group, AVL
DiTEST and Piezocryst have created a novel product for tuning shops,
garages, as well as all motorsports. The combination of Piezocrysts’
sensor know-how with the systems knowledge of AVL DiTEST enables us to
create an inexpensive, easy to use measurement and diagnosis system for
cylinder pressure by determining essential engine parameters for
performance improvements or diagnostic testing. The system is based on
sensor solutions that utilize the existing engine bores and thereby
enable a fast and simple assembly. To achieve this, the pressure inside
the cylinder is measured by replacing the glow plug in diesel vehicles
by a compliant mounting pressure sensor and the sparkplug in gasoline
engines by a pressure measuring sparkplug. The measurement provides a
variety of information such as compression or maximal pressure. It also
detects irregular combustion in gasoline engines (such as detonation and
preignition) and in combination with the crank angle signal, the
position of fractional mass burn (e.g. crank angle to achieve 50% mass
burn), the indicated mean effective pressure, or the torque-time
performance of each cylinder. . ... |

New Switching Adapter Type 7533A... |
| |
 Kistler
offers a multitude of cooling and switching adapters for accurate
measurement of absolute pressure in the exhaust system of combustion
engines. Sensors installed in cooling adapters are constantly exposed to
the exhaust gases, while sensors in switching adapters only come into
contact with the exhaust gases during the measuring periods. When the
switching adapter is not activated the diaphragm is exposed to ambient
pressure. This increases the life of the sensors, particularly in
combustion engines with high exhaust temperatures and high pressure
fluctuations. The new switching adapter Type 7533A... has a M14x1,25
thread for connection to the exhaust system. In order to be able to use
existing bores, the adapters 7543A1 (G1/2”) and 7543A2 (M18x1,5/thread
lambda probe) are available. Various models of the switching adapter are
available for the sensors ... |

Innovative Piezo-electric Force Washers
Expand the Sensor Portfolio at Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH |
| |
 Piezocryst
Advanced Sensorics: Piezocryst and HBM introduce new piezo-electric
force washers for industrial process control. A new innovation in
force
measurement technology was being introduced to an audience of
specialists at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES trade fair in Nürnberg. The two new
force washers cover a force range up to 50kN and 140 kN and offer all
the advantages of piezoelectric measurement technology: Extremely robust
and virtually displacement-free, highly dynamic measurement in a compact
size. The force washers offer innovation, which puts them above
conventional rings. Due to their patented (patent pending) construction
with a split membrane function, the housing becomes more symmetric and
the actual membrane becomes more warp resistant. This characteristic
elevates measurement safety during processes where the force
introduction into the rings is critical (for example, from the retainer
of a ball-bearing). In addition, this ring can be installed with
positive locking, without influencing the measurement through friction
on the inner ring surface. In conventional force washers, this often
manifests itself in the form of an unwanted hysteresis. The sensors
already show an impressively high linearity under minimal tension, thus
making it possible to measure even minimal forces ... |

SpiderScan – New versions, different
resolutions |
| |
 Baumer
Electric: Measuring light barriers from the SpiderScan series are
already being successfully employed in a wide range of applications.
SpiderScan is just the right measuring system wherever the height, width
or profile of objects traveling at high speeds must be precisely
detected with a high level of resolution (2,5 mm). SpiderScan 082 is
housed in a resilient, 82 mm wide metal housing and is therefore also
well suited to applications in harsh environments. This housing design
also features a new version with a resolution upgrade to 5 mm. Depending
on the specific type in question, the measuring field length varies
between 235 mm and 1675 mm. If still larger measuring field lengths are
required, multiple systems can also be arrayed next to one another. The
available option of synchronizing the various SpiderScan systems
represents a very important alternative. Three different interfaces are
available. Aside from the default, serial RS 422 port implementation, an
additional SSI or parallel port are also available optionally. ... |

Miniature, long range
retro-reflective
sensors |
| |
 Baumer
Electric: The completely new developed Series 10
retro-reflective
sensor with its polarization filter achieves a very high range of 4 m
using a reflector measuring a mere 50 x 50 mm. The specially developed
optics are characterized by the fact that a high level of signal
reserves can be attained at even very short spaces between the sensor
and reflector. This ensures a high degree of sensor function even if the
front cover of the sensor or the reflector is dirty. The output
indicator LED which is also visible from the front is a great aid when
aligning the sensor correctly. An integrated potentiometer allows the
retro-reflective sensor to be adjusted to detect critical objects such
as semitransparent sheeting or translucent paper. The new sensor is
available as either a cable or connector version either NPN or PNP
design. For applications subject to a high degree of contamination risk,
an alarm output is also available to provide a timely failure warning. ... |
