Integrated Sensor
DunAn Sensing, San Jose, CA, has launched a new series of integrated pressure and temperature sensors. The TP series uses the company's proprietary DURAsense packaging and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensor integration strategy with a precision thermistor to provide highly accurate pressure and temperature outputs. At its core, the TP Series is a ceramic packaged module, or button, comprised of a ceramic substrate on which the MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor and the thermistor are mounted. The button uses a media compatible rear-entry packaging strategy for media contact with the silicon sensor.

Oxygen Transmitter
Pewatron, Zurich, Switzerland, has developed an oxygen transmitter that can be screw mounted in process chambers and process installations. The ease of mounting, together with an industrial standard output signal, make the transmitter a preferred solution for process control of oxygen levels in ppm or in percent concentration levels. The heart of the FCXTR oxygen transmitter is the FCXU series (FCXUL, FCXUC, or FCXUWC) of oxygen sensors. The FCXTR transmitter is a fully integrated solution with a low-noise amplification circuit that translates the μA signal from the sensor into a 4.. .20 mA standard output signal. The transmitter has a high-precision heater controller built in.

Linear Position Sensor
The Sensor Connection, Bloomfield Hills, MI, has released an inductive, contactless linear position sensor using LVIT Technology. The ILPS-45 linear position sensors are specifically designed for measuring applications requiring rugged devices. The series can withstand high vibration and severe shock. The series uses a proprietary inductive technology that allows it to replace traditional DC-LVDTs in most applications. Its simple coil design enables the sensor to be both shorter and more rugged than its DC-LVDT counterpart while operating over a wider temperature range.

Fine Stainless Steel Screens
Fine screens made from stainless steel are manufactured by Tech-Etch Plymouth, MA, using photo etching technology enabling hole sizes from 0.003 in. up. The MicroEtch® screens feature a tighter tolerance on hole sizes and greater dimensional stability than woven wire mesh, making them ideal in applications requiring frequent cleaning or in devices where there is mechanical contact. Photo etching enables designers to specify a straight hole or a tapered hole, which facilitates liquid filtration and back flow cleaning. Unlike stamping, photo etching yields a burr-free product resulting in cleaner more efficient screens with greater material integrity. Unlike woven wire mesh screens, the fixed photo etched openings will not change through use.
