High Temperature, Miniature Pressure
Transducer

Honeywell Sensotec’s Model A105 miniature flush diaphragm pressure transducer now has the option of a high temperature capability in addition to the rugged all-welded stainless steel package.

model a105

The environmentally sealed Model A105 now offers operation from -65 to 350 degree F (-53 to 175 degree C). Pressure ranges are available from 500 psi (35 bar) through 0-15,000 psi (0-1000 bar).

Applications include aerospace and automotive hydraulics pressures, and generally severe environmental applications. More>>

 
Weld Force Firing

Honeywell Sensotec announces the application of force measurement technology to traditional resistance welding.

WELD-THRU load cell

By combining our WELD-THRU load cell with a digital meter, it is possible to control the electrode force at the time of firing for spot and projection welds to produce consistent results.

We provide a family of force sensors and meters to suit most welding applications. More >>

Accelerometers with Built-in Signal Conditioning

Analyzing the vibration signal from an accelerometer does not always require expensive or complicated analysis equipment.

Built in signal conditioning in the model MA15, MA321, MA322 and MA52 accelerometers provides a 4-20mA output that is proportional to the RMS vibration value. This built in signal conditioning means that with only a 4-20mA meter hooked up to your accelerometer you can be monitoring vibration, quickly, easily and cheaply.

The MA15 provides an output proportional to g vibration, the MA 52 provides an output proportional to velocity vibration levels and the MA 321/322 provides g vibration down to zero hertz.

When Does a Load Cell Need a Base Plate?

load cell in tensionA base plate is added to a pancake load cell when the cell is to be used in a tension application and also to aid high repeatability of measurements when used in a compression application.

Base plate fitted to a pancake style load cell for a tension application.

In order to get high repeatability (low repeatability error) and low creep from a load cell in a compression application then the following conditions need to be met:
  • The cell sensing element must be mounted on a flat surface (Base plate and load cell are ground, flat surfaces)
  • The load cell sensing element must be rigidly fixed to the structure. Rigidly fixed usually means bolted down (load cell bolted to base plate)
  • The load cell element should be torqued down evenly to avoid distortion (load cell bolted down to base plate)
  • All compressive forces should be applied absolutely perpendicular to the sensing element and any side loading should be avoided. (load button)
