Variohm expands its range of pressure sensors

by

Variohm EuroSensor has expanded its range of pressure sensors with the new low-cost EPT2105 series for a 0.5…4.5 V ratiometric output in two measurement range options of 10 and 12 bar.

With its silicon pressure cell design based on Variohm’s EPT2100 series, the new sensor replaces the 2100’s stainless steel casing with a moulded glass fibre reinforced Polyamide housing.

With IP66 sealing, this cost-competitive sensor integrates an M18 x 1.5 pressure port and a Packard connector – for installation convenience.  [Read more…] about Variohm expands its range of pressure sensors

Wachendorff launches compact encoder offering high-speed motion synchronisation for PLCs

by

As a recent addition to its ProfiNet IRT protocol variants, Wachendorff’s WDGA 58F absolute magnetic encoder features a minimum bus cycle time of 125 μs which is eminently suited to tightly synchronised multi-axis motion control on the fastest PLCs.

Available in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, the 58 mm diameter encoder is also reckoned to be the world’s smallest ProfiNet encoder with a nominal length of only 46.5 mm.

Wachendorff’s WDGA series absolute encoders, are characterised by their single- plus multi-turn functionality and the unique patented magnetic scanning principle that offers exceptionally high-precision position and velocity measurement with extreme durability and long life – without the use of wear-prone gears or batteries.  [Read more…] about Wachendorff launches compact encoder offering high-speed motion synchronisation for PLCs
