The NEXTGen CANopen inclinometers

The NEXTGen CANopen inclinometers are available now! POSITAL has updated its family of TILTIX inclinometers with new three-axis MEMS accelerometers, enhanced firmware, and a new housing concept.

Technical Note: Intrinsically Safe vs. Inherently Safe Sensors

Intrinsically safe (IS) sensors are designed to operate safely in hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion. IS sensors limit the amount of electrical and thermal energy that can be released in the event of a fault, to a level below that which is capable of igniting flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

Position Sensors for Hazardous Locations

When choosing components for a hazardous environment it is
important to have a trusted partner. For over a decade engineers
have relied on Everight Position for rotary, linear and tilt sensors
for these challenging applications.

Redundant Encoder Options

In the world of rotary encoders, modern non-contact sensing technologies and high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) specifications are standard. However, in critical applications, redundant sensors are still a necessity. When selecting a solution, several criteria need to be considered, and fortunately, various options are available to simplify the task. Understanding Redundancy in Encoders The […]
