4B “WHIRLIGIG” |
| |
 |
The “WHIRLIGIG” three in one target / bracket / guard makes the
installation simple for all standard cylindrical or DIN style inductive
sensors, such as the M100 Stopswitch, M300 Slipswitch, M800 Speedswitch,
or P800 Proxswitch to monitor zero speed, under-speed or shaft speed.
The sensor bolts to the base plate and the complete assembly couples to
the machines shaft. |
|
|
The installation of speed sensors is now simple and reliable. Shaft end
float and machine vibration does not adversely affect the performance of
the sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft. It makes sense
to use a “WHIRLIGIG” U.S. Pat # 6,109,120. CSA approved for Class 2 Div
1 E F & G. Available with 1, 2, 4, or 8 targets. Corrosion resistant
body and all stainless steel parts. Optional MagCon, for magnetic
connection to the shaft. ... |

High Sensitivity Force Sensors for
Dynamic Biomedical Tissue Product Testing |
| |
 |
January 13, 2006, Depew, NY, USA -- High Sensitivity, Miniature Series
209C Quartz Piezoelectric Force Sensors from the Force/Torque Division
of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®) measure dynamic compression and
tensile forces in a wide variety of biomedical tissue product testing
applications. |
|
|
Sensors feature ICP® voltage output, and have an extremely high
sensitivity of 2,200 mV/lb (500 mV/N) at a force range of 2.2 lb (10 N)
in compression and 1 lb (4.5 N) in tension. ICP® force sensors contain
built-in microelectronics to convert the high impedance charge to a low
impedance voltage, which eliminates the noise associated with charge
amplifiers and the required high impedance cables. This allows for a
broadband resolution from the sensor of 20 µlb rms (90 µN rms). ... |

Triaxial Force Sensors Measure Vehicle
Chassis Dynamics |
| |
|
|
January 11, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The 260A Series Triaxial Force
Sensors from the Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc.
(PCB®) simultaneously measure dynamic and quasi-static forces in three
orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z-axes). The sensors are used to study
vehicle chassis dynamics at interfaces between shock absorbers, struts
or other chassis components. |
|
|
Triaxial force sensor measurements supplement vibration measurements in
automobile chassis research by providing the input force that drives the
dynamic response from the chassis to the vehicle. The 260A series
features full-scale measuring ranges from 500 lb to 4,000 lb (2.2 kN to
18 kN) in the X and Y directions and from 1,000 lb to 10,000 lb (4.5 kN
to 45 kN) in the Z direction. Single axis models are also available. ... |

Chinese partnership promises new market penetration for precision
label sensors |
| |
Lion Precision, the world’s market leader in
high-tech label sensors, has formed a new partnership with Yazoo Trading
in mainland China. The arrangement arms Yazoo Trading with the world’s
most popular precision label sensors and gives Lion Precision a powerful
presence in the explosively expanding Chinese market. According to Mark
Kretschmar, Lion Precision communication manager, “It’s an enormous
market, but you can’t tap into it from here. You need someone on the
ground – someone who is already well established in the target
industries.” Over half of Lion Precision’s sales are already
international and they expect enormous growth in China now that they
have a partner as respected as Yazoo Trading. “It’s a tremendous
opportunity and we’re very excited about it,” added Kretschmar. ... |

ICP® Sensor Signal Conditioner for
Process Monitoring, Quality Assurance and Product Testing |
| |
 |
January 10, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The Model 410A01 signal conditioner
from the Force / Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®)
is designed for operation with Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric (ICP®)
force or strain sensors and is ideally suited for monitoring forces
experienced during manufacturing, assembly, on-line processes, quality
assurance, or end-of-line product testing. |
|
|
The unit synchronizes with machine cycles through a reset feature while
analog and peak hold outputs allow for real-time monitoring. It is ideal
for monitoring and other product quality assurance applications
requiring the measurement of repetitive force curves, where control
limits are set on the peak force or signature to prevent acceptance of
non-conforming parts. DIN rail mounting offers convenient installation
into protective enclosures to withstand harsh, industrial environments.
Piezoelectric ICP® sensors feature high rigidity and have no moving
parts inside them, thus are not susceptible to fatigue or changes in
sensitivity over billions of cycles. Piezoelectric sensors are therefore
ideal for product quality assurance applications that require the
measurement of repetitive cycles. ... |

New label sensor technology works with
every label type; eliminates changeover headaches |
| |
 |
Lion Precision, the world’s market leader in high-tech label
sensors, eliminated the need for sensor change during changeover with
the release of the new UltraLRD ultrasonic label sensor. This new label
sensing technology is equally effective on all labels, regardless of the
label or printing materials. |
|
|
“Until now, different label sensors were required for different
types of labels,” according to Nick Marchuk, sales manager, Lion
Precision. “The packaging industry has been calling for a universal
label sensor for years – now it’s here,” he added. The UltraLRD uses
ultrasonic technology. During operation, a high-frequency signal is
transmitted from the bottom of the sensor, through the label web, and
received in the top of the sensor. The amount of signal reaching the
receiver is dependent on the amount of material through which it
travels. The sensor accurately detects the increased signal level which
occurs during the gap between labels ... |

PCB Introduces Series 3741 MEMS High
Sensitivity DC Response Accelerometers for Crash Sled and Aerospace
Testing |
| |
 |
January 10, 2006, Depew, NY, USA – The Vibration Division of PCB
Piezotronics, Inc. (PCB®) introduces Series 3741 New High
Sensitivity MEMS DC Accelerometers. Series 3741 offers several models to
accommodate various crash sled acceleration profiles, and full scale
ranges from 2 to 200 g, up to 2k Hz measurement capability, and
sensitivities up to 1 V/g, to accommodate both automotive and aerospace
applications. |
|
|
The Series’ rugged, low-profile design allows for mounting on restricted
areas of crash simulation sleds, truck axles and aircraft wing surfaces.
Their DC response allows for measurements in both static and dynamic
environments. Accelerometers include mechanical over range stops, to
prevent damage due to rough handling and transient shock environments.
Internal amplification provides high-level signal (±2 V FSO) at low
acceleration levels, for low amplitude motion measurements on automotive
and aerospace structures. Sensors are also gas damped, and are
temperature compensated for stable measurements in varying environments. ... |
