In a small area without critical accuracy requirements, the old school approach of a stretched string with a chalk line and a bubble level can provide adequate measurements. For larger, more critical situations, laser technology provides a substantial improvement. A laser, such as the DeWalt DW074KD, a rotary laser level accurate to 1/4 inches at […]
Silicon Sensing develops inertial measurement systems for the space market
Two all-silicon inertial measurement systems, developed to meet the specific demands of the small satellite and launch vehicle markets, will be exhibited at Space Tech Expo, 2019 by Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd. The new RMU30 combines below one-watt power consumption with performance that is comparable to much larger and higher consumption fiber optic-based gyro systems. […]
Balluff inductive couplers for discrete sensors
Balluff’s inductive couplers connect up to eight discrete sensors across a small air gap, eliminating hardware failures that can occur when slip rings, connectors, or other electromechanical connections wear out. The M18 cylindrical version can connect to up to 4 discrete PNP sensors with 100 mA of output current, and the Q40 cuboid version can […]

How do sensors for magnetic sensing applications work? Pt 2
At Sensors Expo 2019, Neil Cersell, President of the Cersell Company Inc., explains his company’s magnetic sensors that are available beyond the magnetic actuation market (Pt 1). With the three-wire, solid-state sensor, Cersell solves a rather simple but costly problem. In the North American market, a PNP type is prevalent and in the European market, […]
How do sensors for magnetic sensing applications work? Pt 1
At Sensors Expo 2019, Neil Cersell, President of the Cersell Company Inc., explains his company’s magnetic sensors that are available for magnetic actuation market. The magnetic actuators can be the round line ISO-6432 disposable style, a rectangular box style, tie-rod cylinders, short stroke clamp cylinders and even rotary actuators. All of these designs have a […]
What are the do’s and don’ts of sensor commercialization?
If you have a new sensor or sensor technology that you want to establish in the marketplace, getting some advice from industry experts could prevent you from making mistakes that others have made. The Micro, Nano and Emerging Technologies Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) is an excellent source for experts in this area. MANCEF’s charter is […]
How can data loggers help ensure food and beverage safety?
Just about all areas of the food and beverage industry including commercial kitchens, transportation, storage or food service, require temperature and often humidity monitoring to ensure that the product has been kept within an acceptable range to avoid contamination and bacteria growth. The technology requirements are essentially the same for the sensor in each of […]
Encoder commutates brushless dc motors in industrial, automation, robotics, and renewable energy apps
CUI Devices’ Motion Group today announced the introduction of a new model to its AMT commutation encoder family that supports larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). The AMT33 series generates standard U/V/W communication signals for commutating brushless dc motors in industrial, automation, robotics, and renewable energy applications. Based on […]
