This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...

This image shows a "microforce-sensing mobile microrobot" juxtaposed against a U.S. penny. The device is being developed at Purdue University (Purdue University photo) Download Photo WEST LAFAYETTE, ...

An electrochemical sensor that relies on displacement of a 'neutralizer' from a surface-bound, charged probe molecule by the analyte enables the use of a single platform for the detection of multiple ...

Food and beverage applications make use of a range of sensor technologies. Here’s a brief look at laser displacement sensors. The DS1100 laser-displacement sensor from Cognex, released in March 2013, ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

The features required in a molecular sensor are fairly plain. It should be highly sensitive and specific. It should be flexible and multiplexable. And, especially for clinical or field applications, ...

AutomationDirect has added new ProSense temperature probes, sensors, and thermowells to their existing portfolio of process sensors. Four new probe designs and three new sensor designs are offered to ...

The i04 Femto-Indenter represents a cutting-edge nanomechanical testing system that excels in precisely measuring the mechanical and tribological characteristics of materials at both micro- and ...

LVDTs may not be new. But frictionless measurement and nearly infinite resolution never go out of style. A linear-variable-differential transformer, or LVDT, is basically a transducer that converts ...
