Flow Sensors

Flow sensors are sensors that detect the rate of fluid flow. Flow sensors are used in flow meters and loggers to measure the flow of fluids.

Liquid Level Sensors

Liquid level sensors are used to measure a fluid inside a container or a fluid in its natural form

A load cell is a transducer used that converts a force into an electrical signal. This conversion is indirect and happens in two stages. Through a mechanical arrangement, the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge. Load cell types include compression, t

Magnetic Sensors

Magnetic sensors including magnetic proximity sensors, speed sensors, rotary position sensors, limit sensors, direction sensors and more.

Oxygen Sensors

Oxygen sensors are used to measure the exhaust gas concentration of oxygen within internal combustion engines

Position Sensors

Position sensors can be either linear or angular and include potentiometers, eddy-current sensors, capacitive transducers, linear variable differential transformers and more.

Pressure Sensors

Pressure sensors measure, monitor and control pressure, typically of gases or liquids and also act as a transducer,

Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of nearby objects without making any physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic or electrostatic field to detect objects.

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)

RTDs are senors that contain resistors that change resistance value as its temperature fluctuates.

Speed Sensors

Speed Sensors detect the rate or rotation of various industrial machinery utilizing belt-driven conveyor pulleys.

Temperature Sensors

Contact temperature sensors measure their own temperature, while a noncontact sensor measures the thermal radiant power of infrared or optical radiation from an area’s surface.

Thermistors

Thermistors are a type of resistor commonly used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors, self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements.

Thermocouples

Thermocouples are used to bridge between two different metals that produces a voltage related to a temperature difference. Thermocouples are used for temperature measurement and control.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors generate high frequency sound waves using the sound's echoes to calculate the time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the distance to an object.
