-
Encoders and ResolversMotion feedback devices providing position and
velocity information to closed-loop control systems.
-
Environmental SensorsSensors designed to measure and test for changes
in environmental conditions, including radiation (both wavelength and as a hazardous
emission), temperature, moisture and dew point, smoke, dust and opacity, light,
weather, and water quality.
-
Flow SensingFlow measurement instruments are used to determine flow
rate by monitoring the amount of media passing during a specific time. Devices
within this category can monitor liquids, gases or solids, and measure in units of
mass, velocity or volume.
-
Force SensingInstruments, sensors and equipment for measuring static
or dynamic force or torque.
-
Gas SensingAny method used to measure the amount of a specific gas or
gases in a given environment including both sensors and instruments.
-
Humidity and Moisture SensingInstruments, sensors, indicators or
controllers for measuring humidity, moisture content and weather conditions.
-
Level SensingDevices used to detect or measure level of liquids, gases
or solids, within pipes or tanks, or to detect the interfaces between different
materials.
-
Linear Position SensingDevices used to measure the linear displacement
of an object.
-
Orientation Position SensingSensors and instruments used to detect
rotary position, angular position, tilt, or inclination relative to the horizon or a
linear position.
-
Pressure SensingInstruments and sensors for measuring or controlling
the pressure applied to a surface from a liquid, bulk material or discrete
component.
-
Proximity or Presence SensingSensors and Instruments for proximity
sensing, including capacitive, photoelectric, inductive, Hall effect, ultrasonic,
and other technologies.
-
Rotary Position SensingDevices and instruments for sensing and
measurement of angular motion, speed, and position; includes encoders, resolvers,
synchros and similar devices.
-
Safety Sensors and SwitchesSafety sensors and switches are used in
machines and other industrial applications to safeguard equipment and prevent
personal injury.
-
Security Sensors and SystemsSecurity sensors and systems are used for
access control, burglary, smoke or heat detection, and video monitoring or
surveillance.
-
Temperature SensingDevices that are designed to detect or measure
changes in temperature such as temperature probes, sensors, etc.
-
Tension SensingInstruments and controllers that measure, monitor or
adjust tension in cable, fiber, belts, sheets and other webs.
-
Tilt SensingSensors or instruments that detect inclination relative to
the horizon, rotary position, angular rates or linear acceleration.
-
Torque SensingInstruments and controllers that measure, monitor or
adjust torque in shafts, cables, fibers, rods and other components.
-
Vacuum SensingInstruments, sensors and test equipment for measuring
sub-atmospheric pressures, controlling vacuum levels, detecting vacuum chamber leaks
or analyzing gas compositions in vacuum systems.
-
Velocity SensingInstruments and controllers that measure, monitor or
adjust velocity or speed in shafts, moving webs and other components.
-
Vibration and Acceleration SensingInstruments, sensors and equipment
for producing, controlling or measuring vibratory or oscillatory motion.
-
Viscosity SensingInstruments and sensors for measuring the viscosity
(resistance to flow) or viscoelastic properties of liquid or molten glass and
plastic.
-
Vision and Color SensingCCD, CMOS
or other image capturing sensors
that form the heart of a digital camera or imaging system.
-
Weather SensingInstruments or sensors designed to measure one or
multiple components of weather; including wind speed and direction, rain/snow fall,
solar radiation, temperature, pressure and humidity.
