The fundamental principle underlying paramagnetic oxygen gas sensor measurement revolves around the inherent paramagnetic properties of oxygen atoms, owing to their possession of two unpaired electrons. Various measurement methods exploit temperature differentials between thermistor pairs induced by a magnetic field to gauge oxygen concentrations. However, Angst+Pfister Sensors and Power's...

Excellent performance and reliability The PAROX1200 paramagnetic oxygen sensor provides an output signal virtually immune to interference from other gases. Its remarkable stability over time stands out as a key feature. This stability is achieved through a combination of heated measurement cell (55°C), carefully selected materials, and a predefined burn-in phase during application, resulting in a...

The AG2 series pressure sensors consist of a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor chip and an integrated circuit for signal processing. The low-level signal from the sensor chip is amplified, temperature-compensated, calibrated and finally converted into an analog output voltage that is proportional to the applied pressure.

The AP3 series pressure transducers consist of a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor chip and an integrated circuit for signal processing.

The signal conditioning IC does not contain A/D and D/A converters in an amplifier. Therefore, the AP3 series provides a fully analog amplified and temperature compensated compensated output. In addition, the amplifier circuitry is designed for low noise. Uniquely, the AG3 series features single-point pressure threshold detection. Threshold detection. Analog output and threshold voltage Threshold...

The digital AL4 series is a dual-chip system consisting of a piezoresistive sensor chip with a very high maximum load pressure of 100 kPA and a signal-processing ASIC chip that enables digital signal processing and communication via the I2C protocol. The AL4 series of digital low pressure sensors follows the successful introduction of the A2 series of analog high precision pressure sensors and the...

At the heart of the ASIC chip is a 14-bit AD converter, which has the equivalent sensitivity of up to 0.15 Pa/LSB of a 2 kPa full-scale sensor. Six slave address codes can be assigned to the pressure sensor for individual communication with the microcontroller master. The pressure sensors are supplied in Fujikura's usual high-quality packaging, with tray or tape and reel, depending on customer...

Previously, Fujikura only offered the AL3 low-pressure series in a two-port housing and the widely used relative pressure sensors with one port.

Previously, Fujikura only offered the AL3 low-pressure series in a two-port housing and the widely used relative pressure sensors with one port. With the new AD3 series, the higher pressures up to 10 bar are now also available as differential pressure sensors. The small housing of 8 x 14 mm can be easily integrated directly into a product and the 2 ports can be sealed with an O-ring. Internally,...

Extraordinary performance and faster positioning

Murata has done it again with the SCH16T 6DoF sensor – a combined, powerful 3-axis gyro sensor and 3-axis accelerometer. The SCH16T was developed for applications that require optimum stability, reliability and quality, and it offers extraordinarily stable performance in terms of temperature, moisture and vibrations. In an improvement on previous versions, this sensor has multiple self-diagnosis...

Angst+Pfister AG, of Zürich, Switzerland, a leading  developer and manufacturer of technical components for the industrial and medical OEM markets, announces the acquisition of the MEMS pressure sensor die business of Acuity Incorporated, Fremont, California, USA. Acuity Incorporated was founded in 2007 by the two pressure sensor industry legends Jim Knutti and Henry Allen (Founders of companies...

The operating principle of temperature sensors is based on physical effects changing alongside temperature. For example, resistance thermometers use the fact that the resistance of material changes with temperature. Thermocouples use the Seebeck-effect which generate a voltage when two metals meet at one end and are held at different temperatures. Semiconductor temperature sensors utilise the...
