LORD Sensing MicroStrain are soon to release a new rugged inertial sensor aimed for off-road vehicle use but with applications in any inertial / orientation measurement application in an external or harsh environment. The MV5-AR has a CAN/J1939 interface and is housed in a IP67/69K package, 24x55x80mm. Internal shock andRead More

The TDS-540 is a new data logger from TML, incorporating every function required for static strain measurement. It accepts strain gauges, strain gauge type transducers, dc voltage, thermocouples and Pt-RTDs as inputs.  The unique measurement technique enables highly stable and accurate measurement by eliminating the effects of various thermoelectromotive forces,Read More

Dytran Instruments have introduced more sensitive versions of their rugged ATEX rated 2006V pressure sensor series, which cover ranges from ±50 to ±500psi. The new model 2006M1 offers a full-scale measurement range of ±5psi, whilst the 2006M2 can measure up to ±16.5psi. These sensors have a ¾-14 NPT mounting thread,Read More

LORD Sensing wireless sensor networks enable simultaneous, high-speed sensing and data aggregation from scalable sensor networks and are ideal for test and measurement, remote monitoring, system performance analysis, and embedded applications. The gateways are the heart of the LORD Sensing wireless systems, since they coordinate, maintain and synchronise transmissions acrossRead More

The LORD Sensing 3DM-CV5 family of industrial-grade, board-level inertial sensors provide a wide range of triaxial inertial measurements and computed attitude and navigation solutions at a very competitive price. In all models, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) includes direct measurement of acceleration and angular rate. In models that include computedRead More

LORD MicroStrain have recently introduced their WSDA®-200-USB which is a USB stick design data acquisition gateway designed to configure, co-ordinate, and collect sensor data from LORD Sensing wireless sensor nodes for viewing, analysis, and storage. The gateway also facilitates precision sampling synchronization between sensor nodes by transmitting a continuous, system-wideRead More

Standard exhaust gas temperature sensors in 7F and 9F class turbines are at risk of premature failure due to vibrations caused by gas flows, input vibrations and thermal expansion mismatch which cause the sensor tips to break off in service. However, Conax Technologies have recently developed their patented Spring-loaded ExhaustRead More

Dytran has introduced the VibraCorder™ II, a small, yet powerful, 6DOF vibration recorder. Model 4401A2 not only has a built-in triaxial MEMS accelerometer, but also a triaxial Gyroscope, making it capable of measuring and recording acceleration and orientation in three orthogonal directions as well as pitch, roll and yaw. TheseRead More

TML have developed a new design of general purpose strain gauge, designed to improve the temperature range and fatigue life of the gauges whilst eliminating the lead content from the materials of construction, allowing these gauges to be CE marked & RoHS 2 compliant. The new design has been givenRead More

The Dytran model 3335C single axis charge mode accelerometer operates up to +649°C with allowable excursions to 700˚C. The model has 1-2 pC/g sensitivity with a 2500Hz upper-frequency range and is installed using a 10-32 mounting screw with a lock-wire hole for securing the sensor to the structure. It featuresRead More
