Sensors, Transducers and Detectors

  • 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.
