Stainless steel truly shines in applications where hygiene and sanitary conditions are critical. We’ve previously discussed the variety of materials available for creating enclosures and housing for industrial equipment, including plastic, aluminum, and fiberglass....
When designing custom, rugged input solutions or sensors for industrial environments, a few key factors hardware and design engineers should pay attention to are excellent performance, quality materials and workmanship as well as simple yet sleek design and user...
Earlier this month, we published an article on the introduction to touchscreen technology, focusing on capacitive touchscreens. Let’s take a closer look at resistive touchscreens. How do resistive touchscreens work? Resistive touchscreens are mechanically...
SensoForce in the IoT An embedded pressure sensor is a smart, connected sensing device that collects pressure data and responds with some action. It is highly compatible with technologies integrated with the IoT (Internet of Things) – a wireless network of automated...
Force sensors are piezoelectric transducers that convert input mechanical forces into electrical output signals. They can measure gravitational force (weight), compression, strain, and magnetic forces. These sensors fall into two main categories: load cells and force...
The three primary functions of force sensors are to detect: Force from an applied load Rate of change of a force load over time Presence of pressure or contact They can monitor forces to ensure safe operating conditions and detect force thresholds during operation....
