LCM Systems: The STA series of S-Type tension/compression load cells from LCM Systems provide the perfect solution for measuring both tensile and compressive forces. With a wide range of ex-stock products, available for same day despatch with easy...

Baumer: The redundant optical encoder with integrated functional monitoring HOG 86 M is specifically conceived for harsh environments and adds another heavy duty product to the Baumer portfolio. It provides two-channel detection of relative...

Baumer introduces its high pressure-resistant Series IFRP inductive sensors as a reliable solution for monitoring the end position of locking cylinders or hydraulical pitch systems. The inductive sensors can be used under extreme conditions with a...

Baumer: With its BMIV line, Baumer presents encoders designed for the harsh operation on railway vehicles. Up to 12 channel outputs in four galvanically isolated blocks allow simultaneous wheel-set speed information to multiple systems, also with...

Baumer: Nowadays, users look for an increasingly simple operation of their machines. Additionally, requests for a maximized machine performance and minimized down time are made. Baumer meets these customer requirements with expanding ist existing...

Pewatron offers the new Midori low power sensor, which is ideally suited for battery operated devices. The magnetoresistive technology allows for a superb low current consumption of 0.6 mA typical at 9 V. Thus consuming more than 20 times less...

HBM: High-precision measurement of compressive and tensile forces is possible with the new S9M force transducer from HBM. The transducer works with strain gages (SG) and is extremely accurate, thanks to its so-called S-type geometry. This gives...

SNT Sensortechnik AG: The new UPF-A sensors from SNT Sensortechnik AG are used in the production of novel flexible photovoltaic foils. Existing silicon based photovoltaic cells are deposited on glass, which is heavy and fragile. The new partially...

Pepperl+Fuchs: We’ve all experienced the situation: you stand in front of the photocopier waiting patiently for the last sheet of paper only to discover that it has folded itself carefully between the rollers and is now blocking the path of all...
