Some environments demand more of their equipment than others. Machinery in hygiene-critical facilities like health care and food production, for example, may be exposed to bacteria and other pathogens whose spread could prove disastrous to human health and well-being....
Force sensors are a fantastically flexible instrument. In our last article Force Sensors and Load Cells: Types and Applications, we looked at the wide array of scenarios in which force sensors and load cells can render accurate weight and force measurements, and the...
Every day, hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks might pass over a major bridge. How do engineers measure the pressures acting on the bridge from those vehicles to ensure it maintains structural integrity? Simultaneously, each of those vehicles — particularly...
What is Sensofoil®? In our last blog post, we answered the question, “What is a membrane potentiometer?” Today, we’re going to talk about Sensofoil®, the Hoffmann + Krippner brand of membrane potentiometers, and how it differs from others. The name...
Potentiometers have long served as key components of electrical controls as well as position sensing. However, their size and expense make traditional potentiometers inappropriate for many applications, such as flat-screen touch input devices. As the name suggests,...
