amplifier, power supply, and display equipment making usage easy to use
and much more effective. You can enjoy measurement which is less
affected by noise, temperature variation or power supply requirement
with the simple plug and play system. This USB integration also gives
you power to monitor the output of the sensor and includes FUTEK’s USB
Basic Software which allows users to monitor the output of the Sensor in
real time. The standard LCM300 Tension and Compression Load Cell model
has a very robust construction available in 17-4 Stainless Steel, with
male threads on both ends and a 10 feet long 28 AWG 4 conductor shielded
PVC cable. This product offers an exceptional miniature design with a
height of 1.20” and a diameter of 1.00”. You will also find options for
external matched output or Teflon cable readily available. For a higher
capacity range please see the LCM325, LCM350, or LCM375. In-line Load

Kistler CAD Download Service Brings
Sensors and Electronics Straight into Design |
| |
|
To allow direct incorporation of Kistler products into CAD
designs, the Kistler CAD Download Service offers prospective and
existing customers a wide range of 3D CAD models free of charge. These
models can be quickly and easily downloaded over the Internet for
immediate importation into CAD designs. This saves the designer the
considerable time otherwise involved in laboriously redrawing Kistler
components. There are 46 different 3D file formats and 28 different 2D
file formats available. All of the data sheets for the products on offer
can also be obtained through this service. Quick and Easy Approach to
Design Data. The CAD data is made easily accessible by the clearly
arranged interface of the Kistler Part Community, which organizes a wide
range of Kistler products (force, torque and strain sensors,
electronics, joining modules, etc.) in a tree structure. A 360º preview
of each individual selected product is generated initially. ... |

How to keep your »cool« when the going
gets hot. ITD 61 A 4 Y 9 hollow-shaft encoders. Water-cooled. |
| |
 Baumer:
In a hot environment, for example in operating with diesel engines at
high intrinsic temperatures, it is essential to provide
temperature-sensitive electronic components in encoders with thermal
protection if you want to keep system availability high. Originally as
special development for a special application case manufactured,
water-cooled hollow shaft incremental encoders of the row ITD 61 A 4 Y 9
take current a permanent place in the program of Baumer Thalheim. With
an application temperature range to +150 °C, with electrically isolated
hollow shaft and resistant stainless steel housing, the incremental
encoders dispose over ideal mechanical characteristics for permanent
operations on rough conditions. Hollow shaft diameters of 30 to 45
millimeters, resolutions up to 4096 impulses per revolution as well as
TTL-or HTL ... |

Wireless & Batteryless temperature
measurement: revolutionary products by SENSeOR |
| |
|
These latest wireless temperature sensing solutions for harsh
environments are specifically tailored for new applications until now
unexpected regarding critical equipment monitoring as well as process
control. New-generation products commercially available. SENSeOR
announces three unique wireless temperature sensing solutions based on
SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensors particularly designed for the most
demanding industrial applications. More than a rudimentary wireless
measure, SENSeOR’s innovative solutions own a very special feature: they
are totally passive. Sensors are indeed only powered by the energy of
radio waves emitted by the associated reader unit when remotely
interrogating the devices in real-time. The ensuing benefits are then
unique. First of all, without any batteries nor active electronic
components at sensor level, these cutting-edge sensing solutions are
perfectly appropriate for use in explosive atmospheres or irradiated
environments at temperatures reaching +175°C today (current in-house R&D
efforts target +350°C) with almost unlimited autonomy. In addition, by
avoiding problematical wires these maintenance-free and light-weight
sensors can either be mounted onto an extensive range of rotating and
moving machinery parts or be implemented in inaccessible places. As a
result, two thermowell-packaged wireless temperature probes SED-100 and
SED-120 are launched on the market (sizes available on request). Not
only they are especially dedicated to wireless temperature measurements
inside critical equipments ... |

Sensor system for the internal inspection
of bore holes |
| |
 A
development project for a bore hole sensor envisaged by Micro-Epsilon
last year has now resulted in a marketable product. The miniature
confocal sensor with a diameter of just 3.4mm can now be used to measure
the internal walls of bore holes with a diameter of at least 4.0mm. The
sensor, which is rotated by an electric stepper motor, can measure the
diameter, roundness, concentricity, tapers and the straightness of bore
holes. A complex integrated precision ball bearing system provides the
required rotational stability. The system comprises a stainless steel
measuring head with integrated mechanics, a sensor probe, a confocal
sensor and two controllers. Similar to linear standard systems, confocal
technology is suitable for different types of surface. The system does
not require any reference points during measurements as it can also
recognise edges and steps. At full power, tapered bore holes can only be
partially measured, as the light spot is reflected past the optical
system. However, in the case of a suitable surface, it is possible to
measure the diffuse reflection if the power is reduced. Due to the
installation length of the sensor, bore holes up to 45mm in depth can be
measured. In doing so, the sensor probe is guided into the bore hole
using a linear unit provided by the customer. Depending on the setting,
individual planes can be measured or a spiral profile of the bore hole
can be produced. If the sensor becomes damaged, the sensor probe ... |

Magnetic Rotary Encoders for HeavyDuty
Applications |
| |
 Baumer:
In the field of drive engineering, measured value acquisition poses
increasingly difficult challenges when it comes to dynamics and
precision. These two generally conflicting requirements are difficult to
unite when using conventional rotary encoders. If, in addition, sensors
need to be robust enough to be used in the toughest operating
environments, new solutions and approaches are required. For
applications like these, Baumer Hübner, a German-based company
specializing in rotary encoders, produces robust, specially engineered
encoders, that use a magnetic sensing method, combined with complex
interpolation and evaluation electronics. These enable position, speed
and other variables like acceleration to be measured synchronously, and
deliver both high-dynamic and high-resolution readings. The encoder
rotor can be supplied with a diameter of up 800 mm and can be
screw-mounted straight onto a drive shaft or attached with a clamping
ring or clamping fixture. Encoder rotor and dedicated sensing head are
of short axial length and can be adapted easily to existing fittings.
Thanks to the interpolation electronics, measured value acquisition can
be customized ... |

Process Chemical Seals for High
Temperatures |
| |
 The
process chemical seals D900 series offered by Baumer (product
segment Process Instrumentation) are suitable for high temperature
applications up to 400°C. They have been developed especially for the
chemical and petrochemical industry in order to protect pressure
transmitters against aggressive media. The devices are available with
various types of ISO- and ANSI-compliant flanges. Chemical seals are
used for pressure, level or flow measuring in order to protect the
measuring devices against high temperatures and aggressive or dangerous
media. They separate the medium from the measuring device and transfer
the process pressure via a diaphragm and a filling liquid to the
measuring device. The D900 series of process chemical seals are suitable
for measuring the absolute, gauge or differential pressure on viscous or
corrosive media at process temperatures ranges between -40°C and +400°C.The
devices are designed for a pressure range from 10 mbar (gauge and
differential pressure) respectively 50 mbar (absolute pressure) to a
maximum of 100 bar. ... |
