Fluid-level sensing is very common in industrial applications and now is being used in domestic applications to sense water levels in overhead tanks. The greatest challenge for designers is to make ...

To help you evaluate the True Cost of Ownership (TCO) of commonly used industrial linear position sensors, our first article identified the four most commonly utilized industrial position-sensing ...

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

Cary, N.C. — MTS Systems Corp. Sensors Division has developed a low-cost family of displacement sensors for linear positioning. The D-Series sensors offer the benefits of Temposonics magnetostrictive ...

A linear variable differential transformer (or LVDT) is an electromechanical transducer that reports position by converting the linear motion of an object (to which it is mechanically coupled) into an ...

Until quite recently, accurate measurement of the level of fluid in a container was remotely obtained using systems that required cumbersome cabling and hardware. Now, Senior Scientist Stan Woodard of ...
