A career in engineering can offer unimaginable opportunities for innovation, design, and exploration. Many engineers use their skills to solve a variety of problems. They may work in fields that include civil, mechanical, environmental, and computer engineering, among others. If you have an interest in finding technical solutions for businesses, read on to learn more [...]
Hydroelectric power plants produce electricity by turning a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft into an electric generator, which is the motor that produces electricity. Falling water is used to turn the turbine. Although water power offers several advantages to the people in which it serves, pressure sensors and switches [...]
While the start of a new year typically brings excitement and opportunity, the effects of coronavirus (COVID-19) certainly disrupted our world over the last twelve months. Despite these tough challenges, we stand firm in our commitment to you–our customers, employees, and partners. We will continue to fulfill our mission of delivering quality sensing [...]
Complex systems and processes can use either a trace or a snap-action switch to provide an electrical response to the rise or fall in pressure or temperature. System pressures and temperatures rarely follow a smooth pattern of rising and falling, and the switches used to track and control the system are subject to those fluctuations, [...]
Temperature measurement is an integral part of many industrial applications, whether it’s used for essential aircraft components or automotive engines. Simply put, various types of sensors and probes can help you identify the rise or fall in temperature. However, the two most common devices in today’s market include Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples. Each [...]
Engineering, Technology, and innovation remain as one of the fastest-growing industries in our global economy–earning more than $4.8 trillion in annual revenue. While opportunities may seem boundless, women are still underrepresented in the workforce, especially in engineering. To accelerate diversity and inclusion, it’s imperative that we acknowledge, support, and engage with women in STEM-based [...]
Many systems in modern defense, aerospace, and industrial applications involve the use of pressure transducers, as they are a vital part of any operation to monitor and manage optimal pressure in the system. These devices often consist of two key parts: a membrane that deforms when exposed to the application of pressure and an electrical [...]
Pressure switches are commonly used across many aerospace, defense, and industrial applications to provide systems with an on or off capability–either towards the rise or fall of pressurized fluids. Understanding how to properly manage and control these switches can be helpful when choosing a solution for a given operation. The following guide will cover best [...]
Pressure sensors play an integral role in the safe operation of aerospace vehicles like planes, rockets, and helicopters. From engines and booster performance to cockpit and cabin comfort, pressure sensors control and monitor nearly every system within aerospace vehicles. As these vehicles continue to advance in their capabilities, though, so too must the sensors used [...]
