The working environment has a significant effect on choosing the right type of sensor for a specific application. External elements and contaminants such as dust affect the lifespan and performance of a sensor, like in the case of contacting sensors. For most industrial applications, the...
The mining industry is no doubt one of the most hazardous working environments today. Mining companies use a broad range of machines and equipment to perform most of the tasks involved in extracting and transporting valuable products produced from mining sites. One of the most crucial...
In many industrial applications of position sensors, the assembly requires sensors to meet intrinsic safety standards. An intrinsic safety system by definition is equipment and corresponding wiring that is not capable of releasing enough thermal or electric energy to cause ignition in the presence...
The importance of position feedback spans across various industrial sectors. A displacement sensor is an instrument which determines the displacement of an object in relation to a reference null position. In the field of position sensing, different types of sensors are used with respect to the kind...
A cylinder position sensor used in hydraulic and pneumatic actuators determines the end stroke and home of the piston head inside the cylinder. The increasing demand for better control and function made cylinder position sensors more relevant in industrial applications such as in hydraulic and...
The mining industry, as well as other marine-related sectors, use a variety of equipment, underwater vehicles, drones, and small submarines that need position sensors for feedback and control. Ordinary position sensor technology is not suitable for the conditions in which these pieces of machinery...
