Gems Sensors & Controls has launched the UCL-520 Series of Ultrasonic Level Sensors. The UCL-520 Series is suitable for non-contact applications such as industrial water treatment, wastewater management, chemical storage as well as many other challenging fluid applications.

A range of strain gauge displacement transducers is now available, which offer expanded stroke lengths from as low as 0-5mm up to 0-100mm. The transducers are fully interchangeable with alternative strain gauge displacement transducer models currently on the market and offer long service life and excellent mechanical reliability.

An affordable thermography solution for the predictive maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems is being introduced with IDEAL’s new HeatSeeker™ Thermal Imager. Less cumbersome to use than traditional thermal imagers, the handheld HeatSeeker was designed to meet the stringent standards for performance set by professional electricians, engineers and building inspectors.

With the series PDRJ and PDAJ, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers rugged pressure sensors that communicate via the CANopen protocol and can measure a relative or absolute pressure from -1 up to 1000 bar. In the operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, the maximal total error is at 1% FSR for the T-class and only 0,3% FSR for the S-class. The measuring devices are suitable for complex systems over big distances or security-relevant applications like engine test benches requiring a high accuracy.

NHTSA's FMVSS126 test is being adopted as a worldwide standard for vehicle safety by the United Nations Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear group. In the United Nations' version of FMVSS126 the RT2500 Inertial and GPS Navigation system is listed as recommended equipment.

Pfaudler has solved a major process problem for a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Ireland who were having to regularly replace the pH probe in their reactor vessel.

Michell Instruments announce they have extended their Sensor Calibration Exchange Program to the recently introduced Easidew TX I.S. Dew Point Transmitter.

The high-precision, non-contact measurement of medical devices can now be made with a single probe enabled by the optical sensors CHRocodile E, X or IT available from Armstrong Optical Ltd, the UK representatives of Precitec Optronik GmbH.

Phidgets Inc. announced that the new version of the 1051 shows significant improvements in both reliability and accuracy through the addition of on-board filtering, cold junction compensation and optimized calibration methods. The new version replaces the previous version of the product.

The Model 3801A is a mV output MEMS accelerometer in a rugged hermetic package. The accelerometer incorporates mechanical stops for over-range protection up to 10,000g.
