What are FlexiForce Sensors?
WEBNov 15, 2021 — In an electrical circuit, FlexiForce sensors serve as a force sensing resistor. When the force sensor is unloaded, its resistance is extremely high. When force is applied to the sensor, this resistance is reduced. Any changes in resistance can be customized depending on application requirements. Image Credit: Tekscan, Inc.
How Does a Fuel Level Sensor Work?
WEBMar 26, 2019 — Fuel level sensors allow vehicle operators to monitor fuel consumption and determine when to refill the tank. A fuel level sensor consists of two main components: the sensing system itself (also known as the sender) and the indicator (also commonly referred to as the gauge). Fuel level sensors work by measuring the voltage across a variable ...
Applications and the Working Principle of Piezoelectric
WEBApplications. Major applications of piezoelectric accelerometers include: Engine testing - Combustion and dynamic stressing. Ballistics - Combustion, explosion, and detonation. Industrial/factory - Machining systems, metal cutting, and machine health monitoring. Original equipment manufacturer - Transportation systems, rockets, machine tools ...
Infrared vs. Catalytic Bead Gas Detectors - AZoSensors
WEBJan 11, 2021 — MSA is a leading innovator in gas sensing technologies, offering two of the industry’s most popular and dependable approaches to gas sensing: catalytic bead detectors and infrared detectors. Both of these technologies are able to consistently detect gas, either at or below the lower explosive limit (0-100% LEL).
Inside a Car - Oil Pressure Sensor
WEBThe low oil pressure indicator light is displayed on the dashboard of a vehicle. Any driver will know that when this light flashes continuously, it is indicating a momentary drop in the oil pressure. However, if this light remains switched on, the driver is alerted to a complete loss of oil pressure. So, when the engine to a vehicle is switched ...
Vehicle Crash Sensors: Remote Acceleration Sensor
WEBAccording to Koenning, M and Heger, T (2009), a typical passive safety sensor like acceleration sensor determines the extent of vehicle crash based on impact velocity, type of crash such as offset crash, full frontal crash, and mass of the crash participant. The key role of the acceleration sensor as discussed by Pack, R et al (2005) in a ...
What are Semiconductor Sensors?
WEBFeb 13, 2019 — Introduction to Semiconductor Sensors. A sensor detects an event or a change in a factor and responds with an output. The measured phenomenon may be chemical, electrical, mechanical, radiant, magnetic or thermal. The sensor picks up a signal and passes it to a modifier, the first part of the sensor’s measurement system.
Comparing Common Methods for Ammonia Gas Detection
WEBFeb 2, 2022 — O₂ + 4 H+ + 4 e– 2 H₂O. EC sensors can enable sensitive and selective analyses of numerous gas-phase species at a rapid time resolution (typically on the order of seconds) and are comparatively lower in cost compared to other sensors. Their compact size also facilitates detection in a diverse range of locations.
Automotive Airbag Sensors
WEBJul 27, 2012 — The sensor is positioned inside the engine and a similar safety sensor is located inside the passenger zone of the vehicle. This safety sensor is required to measure the intensity of the collision to determine whether the impact is over a certain threshold to justify the release of an airbag. Both types of sensors (termed inertia sensors) work ...
Using Sensors in Drones
WEBMay 24, 2018 — By utilizing the multi-axis magnetometers installed within a drone, inertial measurement sensors can detect any changes in the drone’s direction and translate this data into a central processor that indicates the direction, orientation and speed of the drone to the user 4. Click here to find out more about the different types of sensors ...
