Variohm EuroSensor presents the following application note on setting up programmable angle encoders: The challenge Precision installation and adjustment of encoders, exact setting of the zero or middle point or the start and end points – these are some of the challenges facing system integrators, production plants and service personnel.

Variohm EuroSensor has released a new low-cost range of linear position sensors, combining a sealed membrane potentiometer in a robust support housing that makes installation straightforward for medium precision measurement from 50 mm to 1 metre.

Variohm EuroSensor has increased its range of level and flow sensor solutions with a new range from Gentech, a division of the Measurement Specialities Group. The comprehensive range includes sensors in a wide choice of configuration styles, materials and temperature ratings; with UL and WRAS approvals in AC and DC voltage ranges with typical switching power of around 30 watts.

Variohm EuroSensor has released a new combined pressure and temperature sensor in a miniature design that offers space saving and installation advantages plus significant cost savings when compared to equivalent models available on the market today.

The recently announced low power version of the Vert-X 21 series angle sensor from the Swiss manufacturer Contelec is available exclusively in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor. Aimed at power critical applications such as battery powered joysticks, radio controls or portable processing equipment, this non-contacting magnetic sensor has a reduced current consumption of less than 300 µA and voltage rating of between 1.8 and 5.5 VDC for a standard measurement range of 0 to 360 with 0.3% linearity.

When the Oregon Coast Aquarium needed a reliable pressure switch for its Ozone Filtration system, they turned to the World Magnetics range of reliable switches. The USA manufacturer, represented exclusively in the UK by Variohm EuroSensor, supplied its DesignFlex PSF103 high current pressure switch to monitor the pressure within the critical filtration system that supplies safe water to the many residents of the Aquarium.

For most level sensors, industrial application boundaries are set by the resistance of the wetted parts to aggressive media. This often leads to the selection of sensors that are built using special and costly materials. In some instances the materials used can limit the performance of the sensitive membranes used for hydrostatic measuring sensors.

The newly released M7100 pressure transducer from Measurement Specialities is now available from Variohm EuroSensor. The ruggedised, automotive grade M7100 features a 0.5 – 4.5Vdc ratiometric output and is firmly aimed at heavy equipment and challenging environment use for medium to extremely high pressure ranges up to 3000 Bar.

USA based Adaptive Creations faced many challenges while designing its Power Caster Fishing System for severely disabled persons. One such challenge was designing a Sip-and-Puff system to allow reliable control of its revolutionary fully automated fishing machine.

When all that is needed is a simple method of airflow detection, the Dietz 103B - available from Variohm EuroSensor, offers the perfect solution.

A new pipe clamp probe, designed as a quick and convenient method of measuring the surface pipe temperatures in industrial process control and boiler control applications is available from Variohm EuroSensor.

Variohm EuroSensor has launched a new NTC boiler temperature probe with an integrated 2.5 mm industry standard connector for fast and convenient installation in boiler systems and industrial process control applications.

Representing a breakthrough in non-contacting and multi-turn rotary position sensing, Novotechnik's new RSM2800 series provides an absolute position output for up to 16 turns (5760 electrical degrees) - and is a true non-volatile device that retains position in an unpowered state.

Variohm EuroSensor has introduced a new low cost angle displacement sensor from Spectra Symbol, the USA based leader in membrane sensing technology, that registers a resistance change depending on the amount of bend radius induced in the sensor. Currently used in applications as far reaching as finger location for gaming gloves to displacement sensing in fitness equipment, the single-piece Flex Sensor provides a cost competitive, compact and altogether elegant position sensing solution where a bending motion is applied to a device.

Variohm EuroSensor, Stand 4E80, will highlight a selection of sensors and transducers from its own manufactured range as well as feature specialist oil and gas industry sensing solutions from a selection of its global distribution partners.

Variohm EuroSensor has launched a new range of miniature string pot or cable extension linear sensors from Celesco Inc. that have flexible mounting and are ideal for space-restricted absolute linear position measurement up to a 635 mm range.

Variohm EuroSensor, the electronic component distributor and manufacturer for specialist sensors, has added a new range of magnetic technology rotary encoders to its comprehensive position sensor range following a new UK and Ireland distribution agreement with the USA based technology leader, Avtron Industrial Automation Inc.

Variohm EuroSensor has released a new packaged compression load cell from Measurement Specialities Inc (MEAS) that combines MEMs strain gauge sensor technology with high volume manufacturing techniques to enable low-cost force sensing for a whole new class of smart consumer appliance, business equipment and medical product applications.

Variohm EuroSensor's EPT2105 pressure sensor has lowered the price barrier for demanding environment pressure measurement applications in the 0 to 20 bar range. The sensor features a piezoresistive measuring cell and integrated high output ratiometric circuitry in a lightweight and durable injection moulded ABS plastic housing - with straightforward installation guaranteed via its industry standard M18 port and a Packard Metri-Pack 150 series connector.

As part of its wide range of sensor products, Variohm EuroSensor supplies miniature altitude and barometric pressure modules from its distribution partner Measurement Specialities. The MEMS technology based modules feature a silicon micro-machined membrane with four implanted piezoresistors and are available as uncompensated sensor only components or surface mount analogue output devices, or as fully calibrated digital modules supplied in a variety of packaging and interconnection options. Applications range from mobile altimeter/barometer and weather monitoring systems to adventure watches, mobile navigation devices, variometers and dataloggers.
