Sensing solutions for advanced clutch control systems
  Over recent years, clutch control has gone electronic, creating a need for sensors to deliver position, speed and temperature measurements to advanced control systems. Electricfil Automotive masters all the leading sensor technologies to provide optimum solutions, opening doors to a wide range of clutch-related functions that enhance driving comfort, safety and fuel economy. Today clutches are operated by electric or hydraulic actuators. These actuators are either controlled automatically in dual clutch (DCT) and automated manual (AMT) transmissions or by a clutch pedal in manual transmissions (MT). Whatever the system, electronic clutch control and driver assistance functions greatly enhance driving comfort and the service life of clutch components. For example, starting on even the steepest hill is now easy for the driver – and easy on the clutch. Safety lock-outs prevent shifting into wrong gear, starting the engine with the clutch engaged or downshifting on slippery roads. The parking brake is automatically released when the clutch is engaged. Other clutch-related functions include torque limiting, cruise-control switch-off, anti-stall systems, clutch-riding alarms and clutch position indication. And the list is growing continuously. ...

EPN: Pressure transmitter for rugged applications
 
Trafag: The next generation pressure transmitter ‘EPN’ is a substitute for the EPT family. It is designed for rugged applications in the marine sector such as diesel engines. The EPN offers a reliable function under harsh conditions where strong vibrations and extended temperature conditions exist. The new model is very compact and thanks to its wide flat of 27mm is very mounting-friendly. It has improved technical performance and reliability and is available at a lower price than the old version. The EPN is also approved by many marine application bodies. Thanks to a Trafag developed ASIC and a reduced number of electronic components the EPN’s operation is more reliable and the risk of failure is minimized. Further are two different accuracies available. The pressure transmitter is having an EN175301-803 (DIN43650) electrical connector and the IP65 protection is achieved without mounted female connector. Trafag is internationally recognized as a leading manufacturer of pressure and temperature measurement devices. ...

Piezoresistive High-Pressure Sensor RH
 
Kistler: RH-Sensors for High-Pressure and High-Temperature Applications. In contrast to many other pressure sensors, it is possible to measure hot media up to 300 °C directly with the RH High-Pressure, High-Temperature Sensor. The unique construction with a special silicon measuring cell does not require any interfering or toxic pressure transmission fluid. An extremely robust sensor diaphragm enables it to be used even under the most difficult conditions in hydraulic and process applications. The RH-sensors high sensitivity of 100 … 300 mV with 2 mA supply, its excellent stability, high accuracy and a very high natural frequency provide additional advantages, enabling both static and dynamic pressures to be measured. The sensors are available as absolute pressure types with a Wheatstone bridge output for pressure ranges of between 0 … 100 to 3 000 bar. The sensor can be supplied for more stringent requirements with a set of coefficients for digital sensor compensation. When combined with the external amplifier Type 4618A…, the sensor output signal is converted to a common industrial signal of 0 … 10 V or 4 … 20 mA. The integral calibration function makes it extremely simple to exchange and adjust the sensor as required. ...

Foil Sensor MetaPot Series 2007 – new, optimized type series
 
Metallux AG has extended the MetaPot foil sensor family towards a new optimized and customized type series –series 2007. Nowadays different foil sizes and systems can be combined to advanced measurement systems, resulting in customized applications of different relative strengths. Based on foil technology Metallux developed new electric features, never achieved before. Generating of a “basic sensor” a complex component with many integrated functions. Galvanic separated and redundand systems in only one sensor, customized characteristic outputs additional switching contacts respectively centre detection on the sensor are e. G. possible. Application of printed resistors. Linearization on printed circuit board ist possible up to 0,25%. MetaPot foil sensor consists exclusively of UL-listed material. On request an amplifier can assembled on the connector flex . For electric contacts twistsafe and lockable plugs are in the delivery programme. Furthermore the already small hight is now reduced to < 0,6mm. Changing Metallux standard IP 65 to IP 66 is possible regarding the sealing of the electrical conncetion. This makes this sensor ideal for critical, humid and warm environment. ...

VTI's inclination sensors for particularly tough environments
 
The automotive industry has traditionally been the leading utilizer of sensor technology. Especially low-g sensors are used to detect small movements and "skid" of the car as part of the electronic stability systems (ESC). The requirements on the sensor are extremely though. The sensor must tolerate shocks, vibration and dirt while delivering full performance in a temperature range of -40 - +125°C over a minimum life time of 15-20 years. Most applications outside of the automotive industry appreciate the reliability of automotive grade sensors. By using high-accuracy instrumentation-grade calibration and temperature compensation, premium performance grade sensors can be achieved using the automotive grade sensors as "building blocks". VTI Technologies is the leading supplier of low-g accelerometers for the automotive market. VTI delivers volumes of more than 25 million sensor elements yearly. VTI's T-series inclination sensors have been designed ...

Software Library for spectral analysis and control engineering assignments
 
MAZeT GmbH presented for the first time its software library for spectral analysis and control engineering assignments, at the "SENSOR+TEST 2007" trade fair. JENCOLOR - CBM Library for True Color Software Development. From the 22nd to the 24th of May 2007, at stand 328 in Hall 7 in Nuremberg, MAZeT showed for the first time a modular development system, including a software library for spectral analysis and control engineering assignments. The library contains linked routines for sensor steering, interfaces, sensor signal evaluation, algorithms for calibration and spectral calculation, and complete use-specific tools. The library will be delivered by MAZeT, optionally supplemented by the evaluation boards, and can be directly integrated into the customer’s own test software and the series software. To that end, based on a verified algorithm, the routines will be ported as the core of the software with the sensor and color algorithms for various target systems, according to the chosen hardware. The test system and the series applications are therefore as identical as possible. The advantage for the customer is clear: The customer can concentrate on his application, without spending time on the development and verification of the sensor and color software, and can get his products to market faster.. ...
