H4PD Provides Dual-Axis Inclination Sensing

Rieker has introduced a dual-axis micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) based inclinometer to the H4 series. The H4PD sensor provides duel-axis inclination sensing in a rugged, environmentally protected housing. This unit incorporates a MEMS sensing element referenced to gravity with integrated temperature compensation over the industrial operating range of -40C to +85C. The Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output is linear with respect to the input angle directly. Small dimensions and common footprint make it easy for field replacement. The housing footprint is designed for retrofitting in the field without re-drilling mounting holes (common placement of centre and slider flanges). The H4PD has applications in levelling and tilt/slope monitoring; platform levelling equipment; material handling/process control equipment; aerial lifts; scissor lifts; boom lifts cranes; and Derricks lift equipment/vehicles.

TURCK's Q12 Sensors Provide Unrivaled Sensing Distances

TURCK's New Q12 Uprox+ Sensors provide unrivaled sensing ranges from a miniature sensor. Q12 Uprox+ TURCK proximity sensors are able to achieve a full 5 mm sensing range when flush mounted; the furthest among similar products available on the market today. The miniature sensors augment TURCK's existing line of Uprox+ sensors that detect all metals at the same rated sensing distance. Q12 Turck proximity switches measure a mere 12 x 40 x 26 mm, and feature an integrated 45 degree connector to facilitate use in space restrictive places. The Q12 is available with the M8 picofast, M12 eurofast or direct PUR cable connection, and utilizes a two-color LED that displays both operating voltage and dampened state. Uprox+ Series TURCK Proximity Sensors incorporate coils on a PCB with staggered oscillator frequencies to avoid mutual interference. This allows Q12 sensors to be mounted directly next to each other, fully flush, and embedded in metal. TURCK Uprox+ inductive sensors are als...
