Miniature Quartz Force Sensor Measures Pressure on Injection Molding Cavities and Other Short-Term Quasi-Static Processes
Submitted by nestorb on Thu, 2007-03-08 23:25. Full scale measurement ranges up to 560 lb (2.5 kN), and compact size of 0.24 inch (6 mm) diameter x 0.24 inch (6 mm) height, allows the sensor to be used for other applications involving compression forces, such as push buttons, pin insertion on circuit boards, switches, and actuators...
New ½ in. Preamplifier with Gain, Filtering and TEDS for Automotive and Aerospace Noise Source Identification and In-Cabin Test
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-03-02 18:23. Model 426A11 preamplifier includes both A-weight and selectable "High Pass" filter, for automotive or aerospace cabin testing requirements. The "A-weight" filter attenuates signals less responsive to the human ear, normally below 1 kHz and above 4 kHz. This filter represents how the human ear perceives that sound...
PCB Piezotronics Introduces Dynamic Pressure Sensors for Turbine Engine Monitoring
Submitted by nestorb on Fri, 2007-03-02 18:23. Variations in Natural Gas can lead to increased dynamic pressure oscillations in the turbine combustors, resulting in inefficiencies, increased NOx emissions and damaging combustion instabilities. Additionally, these sensors may also be used to detect high-intensity acoustics, pulsations, and pressure fluctuations in pumps, furnaces, and pipes.
