Position sensors can play a big role in the durability and longevity of medical device and healthcare systems. Such sensors measure position in practically any device with a lid, drawer, or door. Thus ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...

XJCSENSOR, a leading manufacturer of force sensors and force-control solutions, has introduced a MEMS sensor that provides ...

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 ...

Linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) have been commercially used for more than 50 years. Originally developed as a laboratory instrument, LVDTs are now utilized in various industries such ...

This sensor driver/receiver IC uses PCB-based differential sensing coils and sophisticated topology to provide high accuracy and noise immunity in harsh environments. There’s a large gap between the ...
