Researchers have developed a novel wearable strain sensor based on the modulation of optical transmittance of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded elastomer. The sensor is capable of sensitive, stable, ...

In many applications, harsh ambient conditions present a significant challenge for sensor technology. In such cases, ultrasonic sensors that are largely unaffected by physical influences become ...

Ultrasonics or ultrasound is a radar-like system that uses ultrasonic signals at frequencies above those typical for human hearing, usually above 16 to 20 kHz. The 40- to 70-kHz range tends to be most ...

The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

An evaluation kit from TDK showcases its USSM1.0 PLUS-FS ultrasonic sensor module for designs requiring obstacle detection and distance measurement. The sensor operates in harsh industrial ...

Four high-performance strain-gage sensors have been designed for measuring torque. The full-bridge 0143SD measures torque in any direction, suiting it for use in screw-driving-assembly applications, ...
